DEPUTY PRESIDENT GOSTENCNIK	MELBOURNE, 26 MAY 2016

Application for approval of the UPM Raflatac Pty Ltd Enterprise Agreement 2016.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the UPM Raflatac Pty Ltd Enterprise Agreement 2016 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by UPM Raflatac Pty Ltd t/a UPM Raflatac. The agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] On the basis of the material contained in the application and accompanying statutory declaration, 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.

[3] The application was not lodged within 14 days after the agreement was made. Pursuant to s.185(3)(b), in all the circumstances I consider it fair to extend the time for making the application to the date it was actually made.

[4] The “Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union” known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU) 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) and based on the statutory declaration provided by the organisation, I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[5] The Agreement was approved on 26 May 2016 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 2 June 2016. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 1 March 2019.
