[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Pentair Valves & Controls and AMWU ESSO Offshore Maintenance Agreement 2015 - 2018 (the Agreement).

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[4] The Australian Manufacturing Workers Union being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.
