[1] An application has been made for approval of a single-enterprise agreement known as the Ausply and CFMEU Forestry and Furnishing Products Division Enterprise Agreement 2013 (the Agreement), pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU). I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 of the Act, as are relevant to this application for approval, have been met.
