Pursuant to section 75 of the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act 1977 ("the Act"), I give notice of my intention to make a recommendation to the Governor-General, under section 82 (2) of the Act, to make regulations extending the exemption period referred to in section 82 (1) of the Act for a period 12 months from 1 May 2000 in relation to the laws, and the provisions of the laws, specified or described in Schedule 3 of the Act.
The making of such a recommendation is subject to my being satisfied, as required by section 82 (2) of the Act, that no fewer than two-thirds of the participating jurisdictions have endorsed the terms of the proposed regulations.
Dated this 23rd day of March 2000.
TREVOR MALLARD, Acting Minister of Commerce.
