CANNED FRUITS MARKETING REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)
The Canned Fruits Marketing Act 1979 and related Acts provide for a marketing scheme for certain canned deciduous fruits and the establishment of the Australian Canned Fruits Corporation.
Section 54 of the Canned Fruits Marketing Act empowers the Governor-General to make regulations under the Act.
Regulation 8 of the Canned Fruits Marketing Regulations specifies those persons who may sign cheques on behalf of the Australian Canned Fruits Corporation.
The Corporation has recommended that this Regulation be repealed to enable it to use its existing discretionary powers under Section 10 of the Act to determine its own cheque signatories from time to time as appropriate.
The Regulation gives effect to the Corporation’s recommendation by repealing Regulation 8.
