Their definition is simply one of global convenience for the purposes of their report.
More importantly for NZ, the government takes no role in managing or directing them, per se, unlike New Zealand SOE''s where their role and function is defined in law and regulation, and their goals are actively managed (or interfered with, depending on your political view) by government from time to time.
