EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1987 NO.69
Issued by the Authority of the Minister for Primary Industry
QUARANTINE ACT 1908
QUARANTINE (ANIMALS) REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)
Sub-section 87(1) of the Quarantine Act 1908 empowers the Governor-General to make regulations for carrying out or giving effect to the Act.
The Quarantine (Animals) Regulations prescribe matters relevant to the quarantine control of animals and of meat and other products derived from animals. Regulation 86C conferred the right to apply and be granted “exempt exporter” status for fee exemption for services provided by quarantine officers. Since the entry into force of the Quarantine (Animals) Regulations (Amendment) (SR No. 283/1986), which revoked the whole exempt exporter regime, regulation 86C has not had any practical effect. The Amendment repeals regulation 86C.
The Amendment enters into force on Gazettal.
