Overview

The Export Guarantee Act 1924-1925 was enacted to provide assistance to Australian exporters, particularly in the case of Ohanez grapes, by guaranteeing their exports against certain risks. This legislation was aimed at mitigating the financial risks associated with exporting agricultural produce, thus supporting the growth of the Australian economy during a period when international trade was crucial for economic recovery and expansion. The Act was enacted by the Parliament of Australia and the objective was to ensure that exporters could engage in international trade with a degree of security, thus encouraging the export of Australian produce. The Ohanez Grapes Assistance Regulations, made under this Act in 1926, provide specific guidelines and procedures for exporters to claim assistance, ensuring that the process is transparent and accountable.

Scope and Application

The Ohanez Grapes Assistance Regulations, made under the Export Guarantee Act 1924-1925, apply to individuals, firms, or companies that have exported Ohanez Grapes from the Commonwealth during the year 1925. These Regulations specifically pertain to the provision of assistance in respect of the export of Ohanez Grapes as defined within the Act. The geographic reach of these Regulations is limited to the Commonwealth of Australia. Notably, these Regulations do not apply to any other types of produce or exports beyond Ohanez Grapes for the specified year. The Regulations also outline the procedure for making claims for assistance, requiring claimants to provide detailed information regarding their production and export activities. Furthermore, the Regulations mandate that claimants maintain comprehensive records that are subject to inspection and audit by authorised personnel. These Regulations replace the previous Ohanez Grapes Assistance Regulations (Statutory Rules 1925, No. 179), with the assurance that any actions taken under the old regulations remain unaffected.

Key Provisions

The Ohanez Grapes Assistance Regulations (Statutory Rules 1926, No. 169) provide specific guidelines and procedures for applying for assistance under section 5 of the Export Guarantee Act 1924-1925 concerning Ohanez Grapes produced and exported in 1925. The regulations define key terms such as "Assistance" and "Case" (regulation 2), and detail the process for making a claim for assistance, including the form and information required (regulation 3). Claimants must keep detailed accounts of their grape production and export activities, including quantities, prices, and sales details (regulation 4). The regulations also outline the requirement for authorized inspections of these records (regulation 4(2)). Finally, the regulations repeal the previous Ohanez Grapes Assistance Regulations of 1925, effective upon the coming into force of these new regulations (regulation 5). The obligations imposed by the Ohanez Grapes Assistance Regulations on parties claiming assistance include the submission of a claim form in duplicate to the Secretary, Department of Markets and Migration, in Melbourne (regulation 3). Claimants must maintain accurate and detailed records of their grape production and export activities, including the total quantity produced, the quantity exported, the buyers, the vessels used for shipment, the dates of shipment, and the prices realized in overseas markets (regulation 4(1)). These records must be kept in proper and separate books of account and must be available for inspection and audit by authorized persons (regulation 4(2)). The Ohanez Grapes Assistance Regulations do not explicitly outline offences or penalties for non-compliance. However, the requirement for claimants to maintain accurate records and make these records available for inspection implies that failure to comply could result in scrutiny and potential penalties under the broader Export Guarantee Act 1924-1925. The specific consequences of non-compliance would depend on the applicable provisions of the overarching act and any relevant administrative or legal actions taken by the authorities.
