Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $12.888 million to $67.952 million for 2013/14. This is due to: a reallocation of revenue Crown-funded resources between output expenses ($11.643 million); expense transfer from 2012/13 for fisheries research ($2.549 million); funding from Vote Foreign Affairs for negotiation of free trade or closer economic partnership agreements ($270,000); expense transfer from 2012/13 for Global Research Alliance secretariat functions ($103,000); expense transfer from 2012/13 for the Heads of Agreement Mitigation Partnership programme ($100,000); transfer of capital funding for the Ministry for Primary Industries Electronic Content Management System that will now be purchased as a service ($37,000); and expense transfer from 2012/13 for the Ministry for Primary Industries organisational transformation programme ($14,000).
These changes are offset by: reduced services to other public sector agencies ($660,000); transfer of departmental funding for Global Research Alliance secretariat functions to the non-departmental appropriation to invest in collaborative research efforts to reduce emissions from pastoral livestock production ($590,000); expense transfer to 2014/15 for international climate change research ($230,000); expense transfer to 2014/15 for economic joint venture studies ($160,000); expense transfer to 2014/15 for harvested wood products material flow analysis in relation to the Emissions Trading Scheme ($100,000); and decrease in third party-funded activity ($88,000).
