ANZFA TRIES TO EVADE GENE TECHNOLOGY INQUIRY
Fran Bailey, chairman of the Standing Committee for Primary Industries and Regional
Services, announced today that ANZFA would not be participating in the committee's enquiry
into gene technology on 29 September.
"It is disappointing that although ANZFA were contacted a month ago about the
scheduled meeting for 29 September, the committee has only been informed of their decision
now, said Fran.
"This inquiry is of vital importance to both primary producers and consumers and
ANZFA will play an important role in future regulatory decisions.
"Our inquiry would not be complete without evidence from ANZFA so we will
re-schedule a meeting date in order for ANZFA to appear.
For additional information, contact Fran Bailey, committee chairman, on 02 6277 4280.
