Addendum
The following communication, dated 21
November 2024, is being circulated at the request of the delegation of New
Zealand.
_______________
Title:
"Proposed group standard for treated seed: Consultation document"
Description: On 11 July 2024, the EPA opened public
consultation on a proposed group standard for regulating treated seed. Since
that date, we have had feedback from some advisory group members suggesting
that submitters may need more time to understand and respond to the proposal.
These members have also indicated they may have further information relevant to
the proposal that the EPA may not have considered. We want to ensure that we
arrive at the best possible approach to regulating treated seed in New Zealand.
With that in mind, we have agreed to extend
the submission period until 31 March 2025.
The EPA wishes to understand if and where there might be
room to improve the proposal so encourages participation in the consultation
process. We are looking to host workshops in the new year to discuss the
proposal and submission process with stakeholders who may wish to make a
submission. Details of these engagements will also be published on the EPA's
consultation webpage: Proposed group standard for
treated seed | EPA
