Explanatory note

This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations come into force on 1 January 2009.

They amend the Animal Products (Dairy Industry Fees and Charges) Regulations 2007, which provide for the payment of fees for certain dairy-related matters.

The amendments create a new Part 1 in the Schedule to cover all of the current fees in the Schedule. However, 1 of those fixed fees is removed and replaced by a new Part 2 of the Schedule.

New Part 2 of the Schedule provides for holders of export licences for designated markets to pay a quarterly fee for certain certification and reconciliation services provided by the New Zealand Food Safety Authority.
