Resolution to Acquire Dairy Produce for Export: In terms of section 18 of the Dairy Board Act 1961 (``the Act''), the New Zealand Dairy Board (``the board'') hereby resolves to acquire all dairy produce intended for export and manufactured from milk, cream or milk derivatives delivered to any dairy factory during the season commencing 1 June 1996, and thereafter until further notice. On application under section 17 (ia) of the Act, the board may grant specific permission to any person who wishes to export dairy produce of any kind or description in accordance with section 17 (ib) of the Act. No person may export dairy produce from New Zealand without such permission. Ownership of the export produce will pass to the board at the end of the month during which advice of the produce manufacture was entered into the board's stock system, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the board and the supplier. The terms and conditions of acquisition set out hereafter have been adopted by the board under the statutory powers of sections 17 and 18 of the Act. A.1.2. Purchase Orders: Dairy produce will be acquired by the board on the basis of purchase orders issued to individual dairy companies. Unless specifically excluded, the Standard Conditions of Purchase set out in Appendix C of Chapter IV of the New Zealand Dairy Board Industry Manual, and in the relevant produce procedures and specification manual, are to form part of each purchase order. A.1.3. Categories of produce: The board will purchase dairy produce under one of the following categories: (a) Standard Produce: Being produce covered by the specifications listed in section A.3 of this notice. (b) Non-standard Produce: Being produce, other than a standard produce, meeting the requirements as to specification, quantity and time of delivery of a purchase order issued by the board. (c) Down-graded Produce: Being produce which fails to meet the specification requirements for the produce referred to in a purchase order. (d) ``Other'' Produce: Being non-standard produce, whether or not it complies with a produce specification, or is in excess of the quantity, or is manufactured outside the time for delivery, as specified in a purchase order. The board will not purchase any Down-Graded or ``Other'' Produce which is not merchantable, or for which the returns when sold are unlikely to exceed the costs which the board would incur in selling the produce, whether or not the produce is edible. A.2. Formula for Calculation of Prices The formula for the establishment of produce prices, as authorised under section 26a of the Act and as approved by the Dairy Industry, is set out in Appendix B of Chapter IV of the New Zealand Dairy Board Industry Manual and is to be read in conjunction with this notice. The formula provides for the prices paid for Standard and Non-Standard Produce to be calculated on the basis of standard purchase prices established according to approved principles and adjusted, where necessary, with incentives, premiums or penalties, to achieve or to tend to achieve different prices for: different kinds of export produce different grades or qualities of export produce export produce contained in different packaging, and export produce produced in different periods. The prices to be paid for products purchased as Down-Graded or ``Other'' Produce will be determined as provided in Appendix B of Chapter IV of the New Zealand Dairy Board Industry Manual. A.3.
