Issued by the authority of the Minister for Primary Industries and Energy

Export Inspection (Establishment Registration Charges) Act 1985

Export Inspection and Meat (Establishment Registration Charges) Regulations (Amendment) (Amendment)

Section 9 of the Export Inspection (Establishment Registration Charges) Act 1985 (the Act) provides that the Governor-General may make regulations, not inconsistent with the Act, prescribing matters required or permitted by the Act to be prescribed, or necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to the Act.

The Export Inspection and Meat (Establishment Registration Charges) Regulations (the Regulations) prescribe establishment classifications and rates of charge imposed by the Act.

The purpose of the Export Inspection and Meat (Establishment Registration Charges) Regulations (Amendment) (Amendment) is to correct minor errors of mis-description which occurred in a previous amendment (being Statutory Rules 1996 No. 17), which reduced existing meat establishment charges for 1995/96 financial year and added an additional establishment classification and charge.

The mis-description relates to subregulation 10.2 of the Amendment Regulations which sought to amend subregulation 13(1) of the Regulations. The amendment described the reference to the subregulation to be amended as "'item 5, 6, 7, or 8 of Schedule 2' (twice occurring)". The section was not twice occurring as the second reference to these items should have read "items 5, 6, 7 and 8 of Schedule 2".

Details of the Regulations are as follows:

Regulation 1 - Amendment and Commencement

Subregulation 1.1 provides for the Export Inspection and Meat (Establishment Registration Charges) Regulations (Amendment) (being Statutory Rules 1996 No. 17) to be amended with commencement on gazettal.

Regulation 2 - Regulation 10

Subregulation 2.1 omits subregulation 10.2 of the previous amendment and substitutes a corrected amendment. This correction amends a reference to a section "twice occurring" and instead quotes both sections. The section was not twice occurring.
