Recent Events

In September, the ACVM Group ran a series of workshops in Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch covering the ACVM Act framework, the exemptions process and proposals, registration, the data assessment service, accreditation of risk assessors, information requirements, compliance, the MRL process, codes of practice, and fees and charges. (Copies of the overheads from these workshops will soon be available on the web site.) As a result of feedback , we are planning a further series of workshops in February/March 1999. The workshops also raised a number of issues for resolution in the near future – updates on these issues and details of the 1999 workshops will be in future issues of AgVetLink.
The ACVM web site (www.maf.govt.nz/acvm/) has been updated and now provides an opportunity for feedback on ACVM Act issues and matters related to the current legislation and process. It has all of the back copies of AgVetLink, and downloadable versions of all the ACVM Act documents, as well as the animal remedies and pesticides licencing/registration packages. Remember to save the site in your ‘favourites’ menu for easy access, and try out the ‘URL minder’ function to get automatic advice of any additions to the site or changes to documents of interest.
The ACVM Group has recently held meetings of the Animal Remedies and Pesticides Subcommittees, the Industry Liaison Group (ILG) and AVMAC (see page 4). Notes from the ILG and AVMAC meetings are available from Sonali de Silva (04 474 4245).
Copies of the summary of submissions on Recovery of costs under the ACVM Act , Exemption from registration under the ACVM Act and Compliance under the ACVM Act have been sent to all those who contributed. The summaries are available on the web site or by contacting Sonali de Silva.
