Information and Promotion
How Have the Guidelines Been Made Available in Your Country?
The Guidelines are available in written and electronic form from the NCP. The NCP's website includes a link to the Guidelines. Hard copies of the Guidelines are available on request and have been sent to anyone who asks for them. The Guidelines have also been distributed as part of information packs to seminar attendees and other people inquiring about the Guidelines.
How Is Co-Operation with the Business Community, Trade Unions, NGOs and the Interested Public Carried Out, with Respect to Information on, and Promotion of, the Guidelines?
The Liaison Group acts as one major channel for co-operation. Its members promote the Guidelines to their stakeholders and work towards a co-operative approach to the Guidelines. The New Zealand Council of Trade Unions channels discussion with its members. The business community, NGOs and the public are a wider and more diffused group, making it harder to ensure coverage of all. The NCP will continue to make direct approaches to and have discussions with particular members of the business community, NGOs and the interested public as appropriate. The message about the Guidelines will continue to need reinforcement over time.
Have Other Information and Promotion Activities Been Held or Planned?
The NCP has distributed information about the Guidelines to all government departments and advised them about their obligations under the Guidelines.
The NCP has discussed the Guidelines with relevant government organisations (Overseas Investment Commission, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, NZAid), which have included links to the Guidelines on their websites.
The NCP has delivered presentations on the Guidelines to interested parties, such as NZAid and the New Zealand Bankers' Association.
The NCP has distributed information packs about the Guidelines to seminar attendees and other interested parties.
A comparison of the Guidelines has been carried out against national laws, to identify any possible areas of conflict (none) or areas where the Guidelines impose greater requirements than national laws.
The NCP continues to update and extend its website and promotional material. A one-page glossy pamphlet on the Guidelines has been prepared and distributed at conferences and as occasion arises.
No update to Annex 3 is required.
