Import risk assessments scrapped
21 Dec 2004
All import risk assessments on the proposed import of potentially virus or disease-affected fruit, vegetable and animal products have been scrapped, and Biosecurity Australia will conduct fresh reviews. This means debate over the import of bananas from the Philippines and apples from New Zealand and the US, among many other lines of produce, may continue for several more years. However, the Philippines has already notified a dispute with the World Trade Organisation over Australia’s import restrictions, and New Zealand and the US are threatening to do so.
