Delegation of New Zealand

Import Health Standard for Importation of Oil S eed Meals for Animal Feed into New Zealand, 
previously titled "Plant Derived Oil-extracted  Meals for Animal Feed into New Zealand"  
   On 7 August 2003, New Zealand notified to WT O Members the draft import health standard 
(G/SPS/N/NZL/256) for the importation of plant derive d oil-extracted meals for animal consumption.  
It was proposed that additional declarations would be required on the phytosanitary certificate.  The final date for comments on the draft import health standard closed on 10 October 2003.   A small number of comments were received during the consultation period and in light of 
these the following changes have been  made to the draft Import Health Standard:  Malaysia has now 
been included as a source of soybean meal as the product has previously been imported from this 
country.  There is mandatory fumigation required prior to arrival in New Zealand.  A small change to 
the wording in section 6.2 has been made regarding production of other feeds in a facility.  Extra 
clauses have been added to Section 4.2, concerning inspection on arrival.  Extra clauses have been 
added for equivalence and “other certifying agency ” in Section 3.1. Consultation for this replaced 
draft will close on 5 April.
