Consultation - ACVM Act: Regulatory changes

The New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA) has begun a reform of the administration of the Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines Act 1997 (the ACVM Act). One of the main reasons for the reform is that some regulatory arrangements need to be updated to reflect amendments that were made to the ACVM Act in 2007. The reform is also an opportunity to reconsider the way that the ACVM Act is implemented and to seek feedback from stakeholders. This discussion document is the first in a series that will be released for public consultation as part of the reform process.
