_______________  
 
 
1.  New Zealand acknowledges and supports measures that focus on legitimate objectives, including 
the protection of human health and safety.  
2.  However, New Zealand would like to understand more about the intentions of the proposed 
requirements in relation to the registration and auditing of foreign food manufact uring premises, 
particularly around why this is a requirement for foreign manufacturers only.  
3.  New Zealand would appreciate clarification on the full scope of products to which this measure 
applies. We also request further detail regarding how the measure w ill be implemented, including 
what timeframe will be established to ensure exporters have adequate notice to comply. We note 
that, without further detail, these requirements generate uncertainty for manufacturers and 
exporters.
