LIVE-STOCK SLAUGHTER (EXPORT INSPECTION CHARGE) ACT 1979
LIVE-STOCK SLAUGHTER (EXPORT INSPECTION CHARGE)
REGULATIONS (REPEAL)
The Live-stock Slaughter (Export Inspection Charge) Act 1979 (the Act) provides for the imposition of a charge on the slaughter of live-stock at an abattoir. Under section 6 of the Act, the rate of charge on the slaughter of live-stock is such rate as is applicable under the regulations to the class of live-stock in which that live-stock is included.
Subsection 8(1) of the Act provides that the Governor-General may make regulations for the purposes of section 6.
Fee for service for slaughter floor meat inspection will be introduced from 1 July 1988 by orders under the Export Control Act 1982, obviating the need for regulations under the Act setting the per carcase rate of charge for export inspection of live-stock.
Accordingly, the Live-stock Slaughter (Export Inspection Charge) Regulations (Repeal) (the Repeal Regulations) repeal the Live-stock Slaughter (Export Inspection Charge) Regulations.
The Repeal Regulations commence on 1 July 1988.
