Kia ora Scott,

 

Thank you for your OIA request received on 15 September 2022 for:

 

ONE: I would like to make a request for copies of all submissions received
by MFAT as consultations on the proposals to enhance Export Controls
Regime Operations, for the consultation period that closed 14 September.
This can be confined to electronic submissions only, and exclude any
hardcopy submissions.

 

TWO: I would like to request a list of the submitters who made submissions
as a hardcopy, if any.

 

THREE: I would like to request a list of all external participants who
attended the four consultation workshops:

 

1) The Mâori Consultation Hui held 23 August

2) Research and university focused workshop held 24 August

3) Exporter focused workshop held 25 August

4) Civil Society (including NGOs) focused workshop held 29 August

 

FOUR: Finally, the consultation document notes that consultation could
also occur as a meeting with MFAT staff in some circumstances:

 

"In some instances, stakeholders and Treaty partners may be able to
arrange an individual meeting with Ministry staff to discuss the proposals
and provide feedback. This option is intended for situations in which
stakeholders and Treaty partners wish to discuss matters that they are
unable to raise in a workshop or hui, for example due to commercial
confidentiality or security reasons."

 

I would like to request a list of all stakeholders who met with MFAT staff
in the way described here.

 

This email confirms receipt of your request and advises that we will
respond to it as soon as reasonably practicable, and in terms of the
timeframes and requirements of the OIA.

 

Please also be advised that the organisational impacts of implementing the
COVID-19 Protection Framework, together with the Ministry’s leadership of
the Government's response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, mean that we
may have reduced capacity to process OIA requests. We will do our best to
make decisions on your OIA request as soon as practicably possible, and to
keep you informed of progress if there are likely to be delays.

 

For your information, the Chief Ombudsman has published updated guidance
on OIA requests during this time:

·        [1]Chief Ombudsman's statement on official information response
times during implementation of the COVID-19 Protection Framework

·        [2]FAQs about official information requests during COVID-19

 

Please note that our response letter to you (with your personal details
redacted), and any enclosed documents, may be published on the Ministry’s
website.

Subject: Re: Official Information request - Export Controls Review
submissions

 

Dear Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade,

 

Apologies, but I would like to update the request I submitted earlier this
morning on the topic of the Export Controls Regime and the consultations
around proposals to enhance it. I would like my request to be instead:

 

ONE: I would like to make a request for copies of all submissions received
by MFAT as consultations on the proposals to enhance Export Controls
Regime Operations, for the consultation period that closed 14 September.
This can be confined to electronic submissions only, and exclude any
hardcopy submissions.

 

TWO: I would like to request a list of the submitters who made submissions
as a hardcopy, if any.

 

THREE: I would like to request a list of all external participants who
attended the four consultation workshops:

 

1) The Mâori Consultation Hui held 23 August

2) Research and university focused workshop held 24 August

3) Exporter focused workshop held 25 August

4) Civil Society (including NGOs) focused workshop held 29 August

 

FOUR: Finally, the consultation document notes that consultation could
also occur as a meeting with MFAT staff in some circumstances:

 

"In some instances, stakeholders and Treaty partners may be able to
arrange an individual meeting with Ministry staff to discuss the proposals
and provide feedback. This option is intended for situations in which
stakeholders and Treaty partners wish to discuss matters that they are
unable to raise in a workshop or hui, for example due to commercial
confidentiality or security reasons."

 

I would like to request a list of all stakeholders who met with MFAT staff
in the way described here.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Scott
