Inquiry into the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture

The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA) was signed by Australia on 10 June 2002 and was first tabled in Parliament on 3 December 2002 (during the 40th Parliament). Two public hearings were held to inquire into PGRFA, the first on 9 December 2002 and the second on 3 March 2003. The Committee had not tabled its review of PGRFA by the prorogation of the 40th Parliament on 31 August 2004, at which point the Committee dissolved and the inquiry into PGRFA lapsed.

PGRFA was re-tabled in the 41st Parliament on 7 December 2004.

This page provides access to the submissions and the transcripts from the public hearing relating to PGRFA from the 40th Parliament.

Information relating to PGRFA from the current Parliament (the 41st Parliament) is available here.
