Pursuant to section 75 of the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act 1997 ("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 2001 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 14th day of March 2001.
PAUL SWAIN, Minister of Commerce.
