Your direction of 10 March 2015 to the Registrar to issue NZ units.
Simon Johnson made this Official Information request to Minister for Climate Change Issues
The request was partially successful.
From: Simon Johnson
Dear Minister for Climate Change Issues,
I am very interested in how the NZETS functions and I would appreciate it very much if you can help with a request for some information about what policy matters are considered when new emssion units are issued.
On 10 March 2015 you decided to give a direction to the Registrar to issue NZ units.
This direction is a two page document headed "Appendix Two Ministerial Direction" and with a second page headed "Appendix Three..." is available to the public at this address on the EPA's website.
http://www.epa.govt.nz/Publications/Mini...
The available document has the page numbers 9 to 10.
I request a copy of pages 1 to 8 of this document. I assume that these pages are advice from your Ministry about the policy issues. If there is some other report or document that you also considered on 10 March 2015 in making your decision, then may I please have a copy of that too.
Will you please provide these documents via the FYI.org.nz website.
Thank you very much.
Yours faithfully,
Simon Johnson
