On 23 September 2011, the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry changed the regulations around the export of prescribed grains, fruit, vegetables, hay and straw and other specified plant and plant products. The order amalgamates the Export Control (Plants and Plant Products) Orders 2005 and Export Control (Hay and Straw) Orders 2005, brings the orders up to date with current international requirements and provides additional flexibility for exporting businesses to allow non-government employees to carry out certain inspection functions. A Regulation Impact Statement was prepared by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and was assessed as adequate by the Office of Best Practice Regulation.
