CANNED FRUITS LEVY ACT 1979
CANNED FRUITS LEVY REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)
The Canned Fruits Levy Act 1979 provides for the Governor-General to make regulations for the purpose of prescribing levy rates for canned deciduous fruit. The levy is used to meet the administrative and promotion expenses of the Australian Canned Fruits Corporation.
The Australian Canned Fruits Corporation, established under the Canned Fruits Marketing Act 1979, makes recommendations to the Minister on the operative rates of levy.
In order to maintain an acceptable level of funds in its Administration Account, the Corporation has recommended that the rate of levy for canned deciduous fruit produced on and from 1 December 1986 be increased to the equivalent of 17 cents per basic carton. I agreed to the recommendation on 23 October 1986.
The existing operative rate of levy is the equivalent of 10 cents per basic carton specified under Statutory Rules 1985, No. 314.
The proposed regulation gives effect to the Corporation’s recommendation by substituting a new schedule for the rates of levy specified in Statutory Rules 1985, No. 314.
