Bob Macfarlane’s Expertise I have held several positions during my career each requiring different skills and knowledge; from entomology research to quarantine service management, to project development and management, to marketing and promotion and, now, to market access phytosanitary negotiations. Each of these jobs required the acquisition of new knowledge and skills. In my last job I took on business and marketing knowledge and skills and in my current role I have had to learn import risk analysis, government procedures and process and the vagaries of dealing with foreign bureaucracies. I have enjoyed taking on this new knowledge and view every new task as a benefit to my own understanding and abilities. In my current position I have to deal with all pest types, not just entomology. Throughout my career teamwork has been essential; I have needed to develop an ability to get on with people and to bring out the best in them particularly as I am often dealing with technical subjects outside my training and experience. In my last job I had to create teams to both design and to implement multidisciplinary projects in many countries. In my current role market access phytosanitary negotiation requires the collation of a wide range of knowledge brought in from several sources and experts. Over the past seven years in my current role I have been challenged by a very wide range of access issues, each of which is important to the exporter. Despite significant pressures I have been able to prioritise my work to complete it all within a reasonable schedule and timeframe, where this was within my control. We have moved forward with several previously intractable market access issues. Currently there are more than 30 different market access projects underway of varying size and priority. It has been essential to prioritise activities and manage the use of scarce resources. In preparing a technical submission on a market access issue or responding to an import risk analysis.
