NZFSA published nine discussion papers for public consultation as part of its DFR. The nine papers were:

• Introduction and context

• Regulatory roles, responsibilities and structures

• Proposed Food Control Plans

• Implementation of Food Control Plans

• Cost recovery

• Compliance and sanctions: criteria and tools for the future

• Criteria and processes for various approvals

These papers are available on the internet (www.nzfsa.govt.nz) and in hard copy. The last paper, released in late October 2006, was the Transition Policy and Related Implementation discussion document. The discussion document detailed NZFSA’s proposals for transitional arrangements for the new food regime. The closing date for written submissions on the Transition Policy and Related Implementation discussion document was 9 February 2007.
