Transitory Phase

Services that make new knowledge available to farmers and assist the farmers to develop their farming and management skills are known as agricultural advisory services. Agricultural extension and advisory services which were traditionally funded, managed and delivered by the public sector are in transitory phase worldwide. They are under increased pressure to reform their purpose as the nature of the agricultural and rural sectors is changing leading to demand for broader support from extension and advisory services. Technology transfer system has to become more demand driven and responsive to farmers need and helping farmers to organize themselves as well as linking them to markets. The advisory services has to also support other pertinent areas besides production such as value addition, market access, trade, agribusiness management, natural resource management, gender, climate change etc. It is in this light that the private advisory services are complementing, supplementing or even replacing the public advisory services.Emergence of paid extension services in agriculture is a recent development, where, professionals have been providing paid consultancy to farmers on technical, especially in high value crops like fruits and flowers.These agri-consultant are mostly retired professors of State Agricultural Universities (SAUs), extension professionals, financial institutions and also provided by Agri-Clinics and Agri-Business Centers (ACABCs) trained by the MANAGE.

As the public profile of bioethics rises, and as litigation about issues ranging from assisted reproduction to gene therapy multiplies, the presence of bioethics experts in a litigation context has become more common. Dozens of appellate opinions refer to bioethics testimony in the lower courts. Today's technical advisory services for attorneys advertise bioethics experts along with experts in scientific fields. A single bioethicist has served as an expert in more than fifty cases. In all likelihood, opportunities for bioethicists to fill the role of testifying expert will grow as medicine and biotechnology become more complex. Bioethics experts have also been involved in several other kinds of litigation-related activities, including investigation, consultation with attorneys, preparing reports that express expert opinions, and explaining and defending these opinions by deposition.Despite the growth of these activities by bioethicists, they have never been free of controversy, have recently been received with little enthusiasm by the judiciary, and could become highly problematic in the future.

Laburpena: Sektore publikoaren zeregina gakoa izan da gizarteek aurrera egiteko, eta izaten segituko du hurrengo hamarkadatan ere. Erabakitzaileak –gobernu-taldeetako kideak– eta zuzendaritza-kide publikoak –zuzenean edo zeharka, lehenengoen menpekoak, maila batean edo batzuetan– dira politika publikoen katalizatzaile potentzialak. Gizarte modura aurrean ditugun erronkei aurre egiteko –esaterako, eraldaketa digitalari–, pertsonarik onenak behar dira, erronka horiei administrazio publikoetako lidergo bikoitzetik aurre egiteko. Batzuetatik –erabakitzaileetatik– eta besteetatik –zuzendaritza-kideetatik– herritar guztiok espero ditugu antzeko gaitasun eta jarrerak: eredugarriak izan daitezela beren jokaera publiko eta pribatuan, izan dezatela ikuskera estrategikoa, maila askotako sentsibilitatea eta berrikuntzarako eta gardentasunerako orientazioa eta kontuak emateko orientazioa, eta taldeak sortzeko gaitasuna, batez ere onenak kontuan hartuta. Artikuluak nazioarteko egungo egoeraren sarrera egiten du, garapen jasangarriaren helburuetatik; bederatzi konpetentzia zehazten ditu, zuzendaritza-kide publikoek erabakitzaileengadik espero ditzakegunak, eta, amaitzeko, konpetentzia bat aipatzen du, zerikusia duena taldeak sortzearekin, meritokraziatik eta zuzendaritza publiko profesionalaren ekologiatik abiatuta –zuzendaritza-konpetentziak, publizitatea, ...– herrialderik aurreratuenetan bezala. Resumen: El papel del sector público ha sido clave para el progreso de las sociedades y lo seguirá siendo en las próximas décadas. Las personas decisoras – miembros de los equipos de gobierno - y las personas directivas públicas – quienes dependen de las primeras, directa o indirectamente, en uno o varios escalones - son catalizadoras del potencial de las políticas públicas. Los retos que tenemos por delante como sociedad – el de la transformación digital, por ejemplo - requieren contar con las mejores personas para afrontarlos, desde el liderazgo dual de las Administraciones Públicas. De las unas – decisoras - y de las otras – directivas - esperamos, toda la ciudadanía, capacidades y actitudes similares: que sean ejemplares en su comportamiento público y privado, que tengan visión estratégica, sensibilidad multinivel y hacia la colaboración público privada, orientación a la innovación y la transparencia, y a la rendición de cuentas, y capacidad de crear equipos contando con las mejores personas, fundamentalmente. El artículo hace una introducción a la situación internacional, detalla las competencias que las personas directivas públicas esperamos de las decisoras, y concluye con la competencia que tiene que ver con la capacidad de crear equipos construidos desde la meritocracia y la ecología de la dirección pública profesional – competencias directivas, publicidad…- emulando a los países más avanzados. Abstract: The role of the public sector has been key to the progress of societies and will continue to be in the coming decades. Decision makers - members of government teams - and public managers - who depend on the former, directly or indirectly, on one or several steps - are catalysts for the potential of public policies. The challenges that lie ahead as a society - that of digital transformation, for example - require having the best people to face them, from the dual leadership of Public Administrations. Of the some - decision makers - and the other - directives - we expect, all citizens, similar capacities and attitudes: that they be exemplary in their public and private behavior, that they have strategic vision, multilevel sensitivity and towards private public collaboration, innovation orientation and transparency, and accountability, and ability to create teams with the best, fundamentally. The article introduces the international situation, details the competencies that public managers can expect from decision makers, and concludes with the competence that has to do with the ability to create teams built from meritocracy. and the ecology of professional public management - management skills, advertising, ... - emulating the most advanced countries.

Despite the early access procedures for marketing authorization (MA) valid throughout the European Union still in the most of the Member states patient access to innovative medicines depends on cost-effectiveness, budget impact assessment and negotiations for price discount with the public payers. Retrospective analysis on the availability and time to market access of medicines authorized under the European medicines agency’s specific procedures for early access shows that despite the shortening of the time to market access after 2013, for most medicines still exceeds 365 days. This is due to the fact that requirements for pricing and reimbursement across EU is fixed to some degree and medicines with MA for early access are subject to the same legal requirements as the medicines with standard centralized marketing authorization. Some specific national legal requirements for pricing and reimbursement decisions, population of interest and manufactures intentions to enter certain markets should also be considered.

Nowadays, there are a number of projects tackling on challenges around which thisstudy is based. For instance, the ultimate goal of the current project SKIN is tocreate a permanent stakeholders’ association on short food supply chain (SFSC)that works on the joint economic growth of the agricultural sector through theexchange of local food practices and through coaching sessions stimulatinginnovation. It creates a European network of best practices in SFSC that addressesthe fragmentation of knowledge in the agricultural sector and supports bottom-upinnovation initiatives. No doubts, boosting innovation through that project in localareas will lead to economic growth in the regions. But, for its sustainabledevelopment, it is crucial to create the agricultural extension and advisory services(AEAS), particularly in EU countries and also to modify their role using bottom-upapproaches. Despite the fact that the role of AEAS in the EU countries istransforming in the last few years, from a technology transfer paradigm to ademand-driven model, there are still two challenges that should be tackled in theglobal agenda: 1) facilitate linking of local agricultural sector and nutrition; 2)build a sustainable network of advisors in the EU for improving knowledge flowsin national and regional agricultural knowledge and innovation systems (AKIS).According also to the findings of the SKIN project and to our recently developedconcept (FENIX), the launch of new initiatives will enable AEAS by gathering of alarge amount of information and knowledge from local areas and population,helping all types of stakeholders to improve health, environmental, and economicsectors in targeted regions.
