Importing fresh cut flowers and foliage into Australia safely
As part of the ongoing systematic review of Australia's import conditions for cut flower and foliage imports from all countries, a high detection rate of invertebrate pests was determined. Australia is amending import conditions for cut flowers and foliage exported to Australia to require that consignments are accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate verifying that they are free of live quarantine pests. The amended conditions will also require goods to be shipped in insect-proof packaging and labelled with the scientific name of the plant species. Certain species will require a devitalisation treatment to prevent propagation. |

Exposure draft Biosecurity Amendment (Miscellaneous Measures)
The Australian Government, through the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources, has commenced consultation on an exposure draft of the Biosecurity Amendment (Miscellaneous Measures) Bill 2017 (the Bill). The Bill makes amendments to the Biosecurity Act 2015 to enhance operation of Australia's biosecurity framework. The measures included in the Bill will: • enhance information gathering powers to assist in the management of biosecurity risk; • make minor and technical amendments to improve administration of the Biosecurity Act 2015 by the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources and the Department of Health; • provide an improved ability to amend legislated biosecurity import conditions in response to changing biosecurity risk. |

Updating Gene Technology Regulation in Australia - Regulation Impact Statement for consultation
The document outlines proposed changes to the Gene Technology Regulations 2001 which will clarify the classification of organisms that have been modified through the use of certain new technologies (two site directed nuclease techniques, oligo-directed mutagenesis and some RNA interference techniques). These changes will clarify which organisms will be required to be regulated as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in Australia. They will also identify some organisms which will not require regulation as GMOs in Australia. |
