Mutual Recognition Act 1997
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), to make Regulations extending the exemption period referred to in section 82 (1) of the Act for a period of 12 months from 1 May 2004 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 at Wellington this 29th day of February 2004.
MARGARET WILSON, Minister of Commerce.
