EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

STATUTORY RULES 1982 No. 170

CUSTOMS (PROHIBITED IMPORTS) REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)

Issued by the Authority of the Minister of State for Industry and Commerce

 

The purpose of the accompanying regulation is to amend the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations to repeal regulation 4C of those regulations and thereby remove the prohibition on the importation into Australia of goods from the Argentine Republic.

This prohibition came into force on 16 April 1982 following the Government’s decision to support the British Government after the invasion of the Falkland Islands by Argentina.

Because settlement of the dispute between Great Britain and Argentina was imminent, the Government decided on 29 June 1982 to lift the embargo on trade with Argentina.
