FEES

Annual fee invoices for the period 1 July 2004 - 30 June 2005 were sent out in the last week of May. Please note that these invoices are due for payment by 1 July 2004. In light of this, it is not appropriate that we extend credit terms (instalments) to certain registrants – to do so for some while we are penalising others is unfair.

Fee waivers of cancelled products

Once we have received notification from registrants that they no longer wish to register their product, and the applicable information has been supplied to enable us to cancel the product’s registration, a fee waiver may be applicable. The waivers are as follows:

• 75% waiver for all products cancelled by registrant and accepted by the ACVM Group in the period 2 July to 30 September 2004;

• 50% waiver for all products cancelled by registrant and accepted by the ACVM Group in the period 1 October to 31 December 2004;

• 25% waiver for all products cancelled by registrant and accepted by the ACVM Group in the period 1 January to 31 March 2005;

• No waiver for all products cancelled by registrant and accepted by the ACVM Group in the period 1 April to 30 June 2005.

Newly registered products

All registrants of veterinary medicine and plant compound products registered with the ACVM Group will be required to pay a percentage of the annual fee taken the date registered. The percentages are as follows:

• Full annual fee payable for all products registered with the period 2 July 2004 to 30 September 2004;

• 75% annual fee payable for all products registered with the period 1 October to 31 December 2004;

• 50% annual fee payable for all products registered with the period 1 January to 31 March 2005;

• 25% annual fee payable for all products registered with the period 1 April to 30 June 2005.

Staff update

Rachel Green Advisor (Operations)

‘After five years in Christchurch, where I completed a Bachelor of Arts in English, I decided to come back home to Wellington. Last year I completed my Honours degree at Victoria University and knew that I wanted to stay in Wellington to work. I was looking for a job where I could use my previous work experience as well as learning new skills, facing new challenges every day and, most importantly, working in a great team environment. I am extremely happy in my role with the ACVM Group because it continues to meet all my expectations. My transition in the Group has been made easily because of the friendly and supportive people, and I am excited about the future.’

 

BACKLOG

The backlog of data assessment reports, particularly in the plant compounds area where we are still training new staff, means that it may take 4-5 months for reports to get through the system. It is an option for applicants to withdraw applications and source their own data assessment.

Refer to the ACVM website for up-todate information on the DAS process.
