Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, 1999
Amendment of the List of Exempt Native Specimens in accordance with Section 303DC
Section 303DB of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (the Act) provides for the establishment of a list of exempt native specimens. Specimens included on the list are exempt from the trade control provisions that apply to regulated native specimens.
The effect of this instrument is to include in the list of exempt native specimens the specimens and associated notations specified in the Schedule.
Listing of the specimens described in the Schedule on the list of exempt native specimens will allow continued export of these specimens for the period specified in the Schedule.
In determining to include the specimens in the list of exempt native specimens regard was had to the Australian Government’s Guidelines for the ecologically sustainable management of fisheries. Those Guidelines establish the criteria for assessment of the ecological sustainability of the relevant fisheries management arrangements.
In accordance with section 303DC of the Act, consultation was undertaken with the following Ministers of the Commonwealth and of each State and self-governing Territory: the Hon Rory McEwen, Minister for Agriculture Food and Fisheries.
Consultation was also undertaken in accordance with section 303DC(3)(c) of the Act. This extended to the Department of Primary Industries and Resources, South Australia.
This instrument is a legislative instrument for the purposes of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003.
This instrument commences on the same day that the relevant provisions of the Fisheries Management Act 2007 (South Australia) commence.
