Question: AQIS01

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: New Zealand growers Hansard Page: 36 (26/05/2009)

Senator Milne asked:

Senator MILNE—Okay. If you would take on notice please where we are up to in terms of those agreement arrangements and how the New Zealand growers do it compared with how we do it in terms of those inspection services, because there is a strong view that AQIS has not restructured itself to put in place the efficiencies that reduce the costs to growers. You say it is a partnership. I think one side of the partnership feels very hard done by at the moment—

Answer:

Opportunities to reduce the costs of Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) inspection and certification through approved arrangements have been available to industry since 2001. Attached is a list of markets where industry can use approved arrangements to reduce AQIS’s involvement in export certification.

There are 57 arrangements in place to export horticultural produce. Some sectors use these arrangements extensively. For example, the export of horticulture products from the Riverland in South Australia is predominantly under approved arrangements— 58.2 per cent of all certificates issued in South Australia are issued under the arrangements. Many clients prefer to use AQIS’s services due to commercial or seasonal limitations. The 40 per cent subsidy on export certification services has discouraged the uptake of arrangements, as the true cost of certification is not paid by clients using AQIS’s services, but 100 per cent of costs must be met by the company for providing those same services on AQIS’s behalf.

Some form of approved arrangement is available for AQIS’s export services to all countries. However, to export some commodities a few countries specifically require inspection and certification by AQIS officers. This is particularly evident for fruit fly host commodities (apples, cherries, citrus and mangoes). The Taiwan, Japan and Korea markets for fruit fly-host commodities have a sampling and inspection requirement of either 1 per cent or 2 per cent (and previously up to 5 per cent) of the fruit in the consignment, e.g. Korea (citrus and mangoes) Taiwan (all permitted fruit exports), Japan (some citrus, mangoes and cherries). Additionally, some Asian countries send their quarantine officers to supervise fruit fly treatments during the

Question: AQIS01 (continued)

export season. These protocols add significantly to the costs of exports. Unlike Australia, New Zealand is free from fruit flies of economic significance.

AQIS and Biosecurity Australia work with industry to achieve improved market access conditions and, therefore, reduce export inspection and certification costs. For example, in 2007 Japan agreed to a reduced sampling rate from 5 per cent to 2 per cent for the export of mangoes, reducing inspection time and costs; in 2008 Japan agreed to reduce the requirement for Japanese on-site inspectors for citrus exports, saving industry $30 000. The removal of this requirement in 2009 saved a further $43 000, a total saving of $73 000 per annum to the citrus industry. In June 2009, accepted the use of approved arrangements for the vapour heat treatment of mangoes. This will remove up to $3000 per export consignment in AQIS costs for mango exporters.

New Zealand export inspection services are subject to cost recovery and may be provided by third-party service providers. Fees and charges are available on the Biosecurity New Zealand website at www.biosecurity.govt.nz/regs/exports/plants/fees.

Question: AQIS02

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: Export Rebate Hansard Page: 38 (26/05/2009)

Senator Colbeck asked:

Senator COLBECK—You indicated that there had been a decision made by the previous government to cease this process. Colleagues who were involved in that process indicated to me that that was not the case. The program was in place for four years and it had been extended. It has been put to me that a specific decision to remove this subsidy had not been made and, in fact, there were provisions for a further four years in the forward budget estimates that had been provided for this measure. Dr O’Connell—I do not think that is correct in terms of the forward budget estimates. I think the estimates cease on 30 June this year. Mr Delane—The information available to us is that there was never any forward estimate beyond 30 June this year. Senator COLBECK—That has been quite clearly put to me by the former trade minister. Dr O’Connell—We can easily look at that in terms of simply looking at the last budget papers. That is very straightforward. Senator NASH—Perhaps Dr O’Connell or somebody might like to do that now if it is very straightforward and simple. Dr O’Connell—I think we would have to get somebody to go back and look at the papers. Senator COLBECK—I would appreciate you doing that. I think that is an important point.

Answer:

The 40 per cent commonwealth subsidy of export certification services is a program terminating on 30 June 2009 as recorded in the central budget system maintained by the Department of Finance and Deregulation. A terminating program does not have funds provided in the provisional forward estimates.

Question: AQIS03

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: AQIS Hansard Page: 43-45 (26/05/2009)

Senator Colbeck asked:

Senator COLBECK—But it is a big change, it is happening very quickly. We know we have not seen the cost-recovery impact statements yet. That has to be done before it is implemented according to the government’s own guidelines. It is at a significant expense. You are going to raise an extra $43.89 million out of this process. That is going to be imposed on Australia’s agricultural exports. Can I just clarify that the only thing that you are doing is removing the 40 per cent rebate? That is the only thing you are doing? You are not charging for any services that you did not charge for before? So you are not, for example, going to charge for the development of a quarantine protocol that the government did as part of its service to industry? Mr Read—Correct. It is a very complex question you ask when you say that, because all our fees and charges are linked to the activities with each of those industries in terms of the services we provide with them. The fundamental is, as I said, we are not using smoke and mirrors to actually drag other things into this so that we are covering, in some way, shortfalls in other areas. That is not what is happening. We are simply looking at the current existing fees and across almost all of those sectors only increasing them by, in most instances, it would be lucky to be 66 per cent which is required to bring them back up to the full cost. … Senator COLBECK—So what involvement has the minister had in this consultation process with industry to date? Dr O’Connell—I think there has been very close involvement in the process of working through this. Certainly there has been a request, from the minister’s perspective, to set up some working groups which could talk about— Senator COLBECK—He might have spoken to the department, but has he as yet engaged directly with industry? Mr Delane—The minister, like most other people, has had a lot of representations made to him. Senator COLBECK—We have had plenty of representations; I am sure he has, too. Mr Delane—And there are ministerial task forces established for all of these key sectors. So, with the endorsement of the minister, Mr Read’s team, I and others are working through with each of these sectors to get the best set of fees and charges that are possible within the immediate regime and to work through the necessary reform strategies to process—

Question: AQIS03 (continued)

Senator COLBECK—I understand the department and these groups have been working very diligently on this. I do not doubt that at all. It is obviously a major change. It is going to raise a lot of money. What I am interested to know is the level of engagement personally by the minister with industry. Dr O’Connell—I think you would have to ask the minister. Senator Sherry—That will have to go to the minister. We will have to take that on notice. Senator COLBECK—So the department has no knowledge of any meetings of the minister with the industry? Dr O’Connell—I think it is best to ask the minister directly because otherwise we would probably get the information not quite right. Certainly the minister has been engaged in this process extensively. Senator Sherry—If you want the minister’s perspective, the minister will provide the response. Senator COLBECK—What I am interested to know is which industry groups the minister has met with and when he has met with them. Senator Sherry—That is certainly something the minister’s office will have to supply. Dr O’Connell—I think it is best to ask the minister directly because otherwise we would probably get the information not quite right. Certainly the minister has been engaged in this process extensively.

Answer:

Minister Burke has met with representatives from the Australian Meat Industry Council, the Australian Livestock Exporters’ Council, Australian Lotfeeders’ Association, Cattle Council of Australia, Horticulture Australia Council, National Aquaculture Council, Grain Trade Australia, National Herd Improvement Association of Australia, Australian Dairy Farmers, Sheepmeats Council of Australia, Biological Farmers of Australia, Commonwealth Fisheries Association, Red Meat Advisory Council. The Minister has also met and had phone discussions with a number of other individuals and organisations.

Question: AQIS04

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: Export Fees Hansard Page: 49 (26/05/2009)

Senator Boswell asked:

Senator BOSWELL—How does Australia’s level of support and funding for inspection services in non-food industries compare with world benchmarks, specifically with our competitors in these non-food industries? Mr Read—I will take that on notice.

Answer:

Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service is only able to provide a response in relation to food inspection services. The level of government funding for export inspection services varies between countries.

Canada administers fees for export services, including an establishment registration fee and a fee for inspection services. Fees are also charged for export certificates, registration of product labels and product laboratory analysis. These fees are partially subsidised.

In Argentina, the export inspection system is funded primarily by industry. Establishments are required to pay a monthly inspection service fee that varies, depending on the size of the establishment and the animal species processed.

The United States of America’s Food Safety and Inspection Service activities are mostly government-funded. Some export certification and laboratory accreditation activities incur a fee.

The New Zealand Food Safety Authority’s activities are partly funded by the government (about 32 per cent); however, the majority is funded by industry.

The Republic of Korea’s National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service charges for animal product export applications unless they are electronic. There is no charge for export applications for and plant products.

In Japan, the Philippines, China and Brazil the costs of inspection and health certification are fully funded by government.

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: Certification of Wool Exports Hansard Page: 52 (25/05/2009)

Senator Boswell asked:

Senator BOSWELL—In the case of a health certificate, is it the case that there is no actual inspection of the wool at all? So if you are asking for a health certificate, you do not go out there at all? Mr Read—I will take that on notice. I cannot answer that off the top of my head.

Answer:

Yes. There is no inspection of wool by Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS). AQIS does not inspect the wool or request a health certificate. The certification is required by the importing country.

Question: AQIS07

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: Quarantine import clearance fees and charges increase Hansard Page: 51 (26/05/2009)

Senator Fisher asked:

Senator FISHER—What percentage of AQIS’s overheads, however you characterise them, are allocated to and offset by import fees? Mr Chapman—I am not sure of the percentage. Mr Delane—We would have to take that on notice. It would take some working through to make sure we had the accurate figure for you.

Answer:

In 2007-08 the Import Clearance Program allocated 8.91 per cent of program expenditure on internal overheads. In 2008-09 the Import Clearance Program is budgeted to spend 9.01 per cent of program expenditure on internal overheads.

Senator FISHER—Look at the question the other way: what percentage of import fees paid result from an allocation of AQIS’s overheads? Mr Delane—We can take that on notice. We can provide the figure, but we would have to take that on notice. …….. Senator FISHER—In terms of the questions that you are answering on notice, would you be so kind as to compare the 2007–08 year with, at least, the 2008–09 year. What paperwork exists in respect of the internal audit to which you have referred? Mr Chapman—The audit has not commenced yet. Ernst and Young performs internal audit activities for DAFF. There has been an opening interview where we have discussed the general arrangements, but the actual audit has not commenced yet.

Answer:

Refer to AQIS07.

Question: AQIS09

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: Quarantine import clearance fees and charges increase Hansard Page: 52–53 (26/05/2009)

Senator Fisher asked:

Senator FISHER—Mr Delane, has the paperwork that you have said is with the consultative committee been made public? Mr Chapman—All of the cost modelling which has been used to determine the fees and charges is not publicly available, but the relevant industry sectors who have been involved with us in determining how the new fees and charges should be set up do have copies. So industry representative sectors are well aware of the modelling and, as I said, they are actually the co-designers of the modelling. Senator FISHER—Are you able to make public the industry-based paperwork? Mr Chapman—I am not sure if I fully understand the question. The way that the— Senator FISHER—In terms of the modelling. That is what I am particularly interested in. Mr Delane—I am not sure that that would be our preference. These things are quite detailed—just as detailed as the export fees that we discussed before lunch— Senator FISHER—Indeed. Mr Delane—and quite easily open to misinterpretation. So we work with the import consultative committee, who are quite familiar with this area of the business, and they crawl all over those numbers. I do not think it would be terribly constructive to share those models and spreadsheets over email and find that they were being misinterpreted for whatever purpose. Mr Chapman—I will just add to that. For the changed fees and charges to come into effect requires an amendment to the quarantine fees determination, so all the explanatory detail in that as to what fees and charges have been amended and on what basis will be available as part of that process. Similarly, when the new fees and charges come into effect, we will be explicit in providing information to industry on what they are and the broad basis of that. But we will not be going into all of the negotiations and discussions about why you add $4 here instead of $3 and why you add $3 here instead of $4, because there is quite a complex and large array of services which we charge for. Senator FISHER—I understand what you are trying to suggest, Mr Chapman, but the difficulty with the complexity of services for which you are trying to charge is that it can be seen by some to hide the direction of the allocation of, essentially, AQIS costing—sorry, hiding its intent to blur, to— Dr O’Connell—I think what Mr Delane was just talking about was the preference in handling these things. Outside anything that is commercial in confidence here, there would be no trouble in providing whatever is required.

Question: AQIS09 (continued)

Senator FISHER—Thank you. Dr O’Connell—It is simply a question of the fact this is partway through a process and we are not quite there yet, so things can be taken out of context. But there is no problem with providing whatever is needed— Senator FISHER—Perhaps you can consider doing so on notice.

Mr Chapman—I need to correct what I just said, I am afraid. We have had a cost- recovery impact statement. OBPR said that we were not required to do a regulatory impact statement, but a cost-recovery impact statement has been signed off. Senator FISHER—Are you able to provide a copy of that to the committee? Mr Chapman—I do not see why not.

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: Export Rebate Hansard Page: 55 (26/05/2009)

Senator Fielding asked:

Senator FIELDING—I am not satisfied with that, but I do not think I am not going to get any other answer. Has the government thought about phasing in the higher costs or phasing out the export rebate, rather than doing it in one hit at one time? Senator SHERRY—As has been explained, the subsidy was the policy of the previous government for a limited period of time, and it has lapsed. Cabinet have made a decision about the current and pre-existing policy—which has been around for many years; I can remember discussing levies in various sectors in Senate estimates when we were last in government—and it is one of cost recovery. As to whether the government considered anything else, that is obviously a matter for cabinet and a minister. I will take it on notice.

Answer:

The 40 per cent Commonwealth subsidy of export certification services is a program terminating on 30 June 2009, as recorded in the central budget system maintained by the Department of Finance and Deregulation. A terminating program does not have funds provided in the provisional forward estimates.

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: Industry participants Hansard Page: 60–61 (26/05/2009)

Senator Nash asked:

Senator NASH— Perhaps you could then provide for the committee—and this may have been asked before, and I do apologise if it has been—a list of the industry participants that you are consulting with. Mr Read—Certainly. Senator NASH—And, perhaps, release any of that information that is not confidential that has come to you. Mr Read—Certainly. Senator NASH—The other question is about whether or not there has been any work done on the cost flow-on back to primary producers from the processors—which, if I were a processor, I would probably do too. Mr Read—As I said, whatever requirements that we need to pick up—and I just do not have that information at hand; we could take that on notice—

Answer:

Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) has consulted with the following industry participants: AQIS-Export Dairy Ministerial Taskforce, AQIS– Live Export Ministerial Taskforce, AQIS-Export Horticulture Ministerial Taskforce, AQIS–Export Fish Ministerial Taskforce, AQIS–Export Grain Ministerial Taskforce, AQIS–AMIC Ministerial Taskforce, Australian Renderers Association, Australian Skin, Hide and Leather Exporters Association, Australian Wool Industry Council, Export Meat Industry Advisory Committee, Horticulture Exports Consultative Committee, Australian Livestock Exporters Council Ltd, Seafood Export Industry Consultative Committee, Organic Industry Export Consultative Committee, AQIS Grain Industry Consultative Committee, Dairy Export Industry Consultative Committee, Deer Industry, Emu Association and Pet Food Industry.

The membership of the taskforces was determined by each industry export sector to ensure key industry representation across commodities affected by the fee changes. Membership includes: • Grain—ABB Grain; Grain Trade Australia; Grains Council of Australia; Australian Fodder Industry; Australian Seed Federation; CBH Group; GrainCorp Operations; AWB Ltd; Sunrice; Pulse Australia; Australian Oilseeds Federation; Australian Cottonseed Industry Association; Grain Poll Pty Ltd

Question: AQIS12 (continued)

• Livestock—Australian Livestock Exporters’ Council • Meat—Australian Meat Industry Council • Fish—Abalone Fishermen’s Cooperative Ltd; Tasmanian Seafoods Pty Ltd; Ocean Foods Pty Ltd; Australian Maritime College; Seafood Services Australia • Dairy—Safe Food Production Queensland; Dairy Food Safety Victoria; Australian Dairy Products Federation; Australian Dairy Farmers; Murray Goulburn; Fonterra; Dairy Australia • Horticulture—Australian Horticulture Exporters Council; Horticulture Australia Council; Nursery Garden Industry Australia; Horticulture Export Consultative Committee (Citrus/Mango); Horticulture Australia Limited.

The value of this subsidy to industry has been assessed by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARE) as being insignificant relative to the effects of other factors (such as fluctuating exchange rates) on industry returns: • ABARE has confirmed that the current subsidy of around $30 million to export meat certification amounts to around 0.55 per cent of the total value of beef and veal, lamb and mutton exported. • For other industries, fish, dairy, horticulture, grain and live animal exports, the subsidy amounts to a lower percentage of export value than for the meat industry.

Senator Heffernan asked:

Senator HEFFERNAN—We do. Are you trying to tell me that we actually track the casings when our casings go to China? I am sure their factories know they are our casings when they come back out of the factory! Are you are trying to kid me? Mr Liehne—I will take that on notice. My understanding is that we do not import product from China, but I would need to check that.

Answer:

There are currently no import permits for natural casings that originate from, or are processed in, China. They cannot be imported into Australia.

Question: AQIS14

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: Sausage casings Hansard Page: 63 (26/05/2009)

Senator Heffernan asked:

Senator HEFFERNAN—In the Japanese casing industry, they have compulsory sterilisation procedures for casings coming into the country. We do not have that. Mr Liehne—I will take that on notice. We normally bring them in in brine, as I understand, but I will confirm that and take it on notice.

Answer:

Natural casings originating from, or processed in, countries where foot and mouth disease, peste des petits ruminants, rinderpest, swine vesicular disease, classical swine fever or Teschen disease are present, cannot be imported into Australia unless the casings are effectively treated under Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) quarantine control in an AQIS-approved post-arrival treatment facility.

For all the diseases mentioned above, the treatment involves casings being desalinated and soaked for two hours in a chlorine solution maintained at a level of at least 80ppm of free available chlorine before release from quarantine.

There are no facilities approved by AQIS that can undertake this Biosecurity Australia-approved treatment process. Therefore, no natural casings have been permitted entry from countries affected by the abovementioned diseases.

Question: AQIS15

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: Sausage casings Hansard Page: 63 (26/05/2009)

Senator Heffernan asked:

Senator HEFFERNAN—I realise the labour disadvantage that we have compared with China. You are telling me that none of our casings go to China? Mr Liehne—No, my understanding is we do not import from China. The fact that they export to China is a different matter. I cannot comment on that. Senator HEFFERNAN—But you accept that they may well go to China, then over to the US, and then back here? Mr Liehne—That allegation has been made. My understanding is that that is being investigated by our compliance people and, at this stage, they have not found any evidence that that is the case, although I have heard that same allegation. Mr Read—I think, just to add further to this, we would need to take it on notice. I know that we have actually raised this issue with FSIS. I know FSIS have investigated from their perspective. I also know we have a high level of trust in FSIS and they have a high level of trust in us. We provide certification to that government for meeting a range of export market requirements to there and they equally reciprocate. Senator HEFFERNAN—That is the allegation, and the allegation is that, unlike Japan and other countries, we do not do the sterilisation thing. Mr Delane—I will take it on notice. If you have or obtain any evidence—

Answer:

Australian casings that are exported to China for processing are not permitted to be imported into Australia via the United States or any other country and no import permit has been issued to allow this to occur.

Furthermore, the US Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service does not permit the export of casings to Australia that have been processed in countries, such as China, which do not have meat inspection systems equivalent to the US system.

Mr Delane, if you and I go fishing at the weekend and I use those green prawns as bait, are we going to break the law? Mr Delane—I suspect not, but we will take that question on notice and we will provide you with clear advice as to your legal position.

No. Where prawns have been imported for human consumption and have been released from quarantine, it is unlikely that a person would be breaching any Commonwealth quarantine legislation by using the prawns as bait.

Question: AQIS17

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: Organic lamb Hansard Page: 69 (26/05/2009)

Senator Heffernan asked:

Senator HEFFERNAN—Can you tell me what makes a lamb organic? This is the greatest marketing ploy of likeable rogues. How do you certify that a lamb is organic? Can you please explain that to me? Mr Read—We can give you some information on notice about how you can get an organic lamb. Senator HEFFERNAN—But if you drench a lamb, is it organic? Mr Read—We will put that in the question on notice.

Answer:

Since 1990 the Australian organic and biodynamic sector has worked with Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service to help establish an export program and overseas markets for products labelled as organic or biodynamic. A key component of this partnership has been the development and publication of the National Standard for Organic and Biodynamic Produce. For the purposes of export, this standard has since been recognised and accepted by government authorities such as the European Commission, the Switzerland Council of Agriculture, the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, and the Korean Food and Drug Administration.

For lamb to be eligible to be labelled as organic or biodynamic requires the farm to undergo a three-year conversion period from conventional to organic operations. During this time the farmer has to adjust the farming systems and associated practices to match the requirements under the National Standard for Organic and Biodynamic Produce. This entails, but is not limited to, livestock management, disease prevention and treatment, livestock welfare and housing, and livestock handling and identification and labelling.

In situations where the treatment of organic lamb requires a conventional method to mitigate a particular disease, this must be undertaken for animal welfare purposes; however, the lamb will lose its organic status and must be correctly identified as such and segregated from other organic lambs in the enterprise.

Senator Colbeck asked:

Senator COLBECK—Can I come to that process and just ask Mr Schipp where the organic standard is that is being prepared through Standards Australia? It has been a fairly long process to date. Dr Schipp—It has. I understand that the draft standard will be released publicly next month for vote. Senator COLBECK—Next month? So what is the approval process for that? It is a process that Standards Australia will deal with or does it have to go through a process similar to the one you have just been describing? Dr Schipp—No, it is a Standards Australia process. Senator COLBECK—Industry has been fairly closely involved with Standards Australia in the development of that, have they not? Dr Schipp—They have, yes. Senator COLBECK—A draft is released for public comment, I presume, for how long? Do you know? Dr Schipp—I do not know. I would have to take that on notice. It is not run out of AQIS; it is run out of—

Answer:

The draft Australian Standard for Organic and Biodynamic Products was released for public consultation for a period of two months, from 21 July 2008, and closed on 22 September 2008. A number of stages follow consultation and, before publication of the standard, including:

• Comments received as a result of the public consultation process were collated and considered by the Standards FT–032 Committee. • A revised draft Australian Standard was circulated to the committee for postal ballot on 11 June 2009. The ballot closes on 9 July and must demonstrate substantial agreement with no major dissenting interests. • A final process approval is then given by the relevant standards sector board, before the standard is ready for publication.

Question: AQIS18 (continued)

Question: AQIS19

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: Organic Chicken Hansard Page: 70 (26/05/2009)

Senator Heffernan asked:

Senator HEFFERNAN—Anyhow, you are going to supply me with the details of what makes lamb, chooks, cattle organic. If you fed grain to a chook that has been sprayed, it cannot be organic. CHAIR—Senator Heffernan, you have already asked that and Mr Read is going to take it on notice. I know you have added chooks and beef.

Answer:

For any livestock, including chickens, to be eligible to be labelled as organic or biodynamic requires the farm to undergo a three-year conversion period from conventional to organic operations. During this time the farmer has to adjust the farming systems and associated practices to match the requirements under the National Standard for Organic and Biodynamic Produce. This requires farmers to manage such facets of their operations as soil and water management, landscape management and biodiversity, livestock identification and housing, as well as the use of permitted farming inputs. Furthermore, the farmer must ensure that for livestock, 100 per cent of their diet is from feed produced according to the National Standard and therefore must be certified organic.

To further enhance the integrity of Australian organic and biodynamic products in the domestic market, Standards Australia will shortly publish an Australian Standard for Organic and Biodynamic Produce. Based on the National Standard for Organic and Biodynamic Produce, this Australian standard should provide greater recognition and acceptance by local consumers.

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: List of dried and semi-moist dog food products that are irradiated Hansard Page: 74 (26/05/2009)

Senator Siewert asked:

Senator SIEWERT—But how widely is it used now? Mr Liehne—It is offered as an alternative treatment for some products where the quarantine risks associated with the ingredients are not effectively managed by the manufacturing process. A small proportion of dried and semi-moist dog food gets irradiated. It is a very small proportion, compared with the vast bulk of material that comes in. It is in a small number of those cases. It is used for some of the dried pigs’ ears and those sorts of things, those treats that come in. It is used to irradiate those, and there appears to be no issue associated with those products at all. Senator SIEWERT—Is it possible that to get a list or is that going to cause too much work? Mr Liehne—The difficulty that we have is that we issue permits that have that as an alternative treatment, or as a treatment, but the volume of material coming in and the products that are irradiated are very hard to determine because some products do not require it because the origin of the ingredients—the quarantine risks associated with that do not require additional treatment. We can provide you a broad grouping of permits that would have that as a condition, but, as to volume or product, that is impossible to identify. Senator SIEWERT—That list would be appreciated. Mr Liehne—Yes.

Answer:

Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) does not have a detailed list of all individual products that require gamma irradiation as an import condition. In instances where products have not undergone an adequate heat treatment during manufacture, AQIS has offered gamma irradiation as a condition of import for the following types of dried and semi-moist dog food products: • Dried/baked pigs’ ears/snouts • Dried buffalo/beef products • Dried chicken jerky • Dry and semi-moist pet food • Green-lipped mussel powder • Dried fish sticks.

Question: AQIS21

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: Melamine in milk Hansard Page: 90 (26/05/2009)

Senator Back asked:

Senator BACK—Excellent. Chairman, I just have one more question, totally unrelated to this area. It is with regard to product integrity. Can anybody comment on the whole question associated with melamine in milk in China late in 2008? Is this an area, Dr O’Connell, that the department is able to comment on at all? Dr O’Connell—I think our AQIS colleagues can probably do that, but they have gone, so we might take it on notice, if that is helpful?

Answer:

Contamination of infant formula with melamine in China

Melamine contamination of milk products manufactured in China caused the deaths of four infants, around 300 000 children were affected, with over 50 000 infants admitted to hospital. A large number of Chinese dairy were implicated, including the three leading dairy brands in China.

Melamine contamination of Chinese milk resulted in product recalls and investigations of dairy products in China.

Australia’s reaction in relation to the domestic food market

Australia does not import any infant formula products from China and, due to quarantine requirements, most dairy products from China are not permitted.

In relation to food safety issues affecting Australia’s domestic market, it is important to understand the roles of the various agencies: • The role of the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) is to inspect and test imported food for compliance with the Food Standards Code, based on advice from Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ).

• State and territory government are responsible for enforcing the requirements of the Food Standards Code on all food available for sale within their jurisdictions.

Senate Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport Legislation Committee ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ON NOTICE Budget Estimates May 2009 Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry

Question: AQIS21 (continued)

• Recalls are managed by FSANZ, states and territories—not by AQIS.

Australian food agencies have focused their attention on those Chinese food products with small amounts of dairy ingredients that can be imported. Following testing by state and territory food agencies, nine products were identified to contain melamine above the limits set by FSANZ and were either recalled or withdrawn from supermarkets: White Rabbit candy, Lotte brand biscuits, Orion tiramisu dessert product, Kirin milk tea, Dali Yuan sour milk drink, Munchy’s Mini crackers with cream cheese, Danco waffles, Four Seas cake and Mengniu Monmilk.

Border testing for melamine contamination of food products from China manufactured for young children and infants continues to be in place; the products have been identified to AQIS by FSANZ through testing undertaken by the states and territories.

Deliberate addition of melamine to food is not permitted in Australia and FSANZ has in place a tolerance for melamine, as it is known to commonly occur at trace levels in foods because of leaching during processing and packaging. FSANZ’s advice is that these low levels present no safety concerns.

Department’s response to assist Australia’s dairy exporters

Following melamine contamination of milk products manufactured in China, several countries that import Australia’s dairy products implemented additional melamine testing and certification requirements for imports of dairy products to their markets regardless of country of origin, and these affected Australia’s dairy exports.

AQIS has been keeping the export dairy industry informed of changes to certification requirements. To date the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry /AQIS has successfully negotiated simplification of the additional melamine-related requirements with the governments of Taiwan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Mauritius and Oman.

There have been several cases of alleged melamine contamination of Australia’s dairy exports overseas, but all proved false after investigation.

Question: AQIS22

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: National Livestock Identification System (NLIS)—Alpacas Hansard Page: 101–102 (26/05/2009)

Senator Colbeck asked:

Mr Aldred—For the broader NLIS. That is across cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and alpacas. The funding that is being provided in these couple of years is for the Australian Alpaca Association to develop a business plan and proposal for how they would implement a traceability system. Senator COLBECK—So we are effectively about 50 per cent of the way through that process? Mr Aldred—It is certainly kicking off. I would have to take on notice the exact details, if you wish me to do so. Senator COLBECK—Yes, I would be interested. Specifically with respect to alpacas, there were some issues going back a couple of years relating to the capacity for Australia to import alpacas into the UK based around EU protocols on bluetongue and recognition of specific bluetongue-free zones within Australia. The argument was based around our recognition of what they called their ‘bluetongue-free zones’. Has that problem been resolved? Mr Aldred—I would need to take that on notice. I am not aware of the detail. Senator COLBECK—I must admit this particular line item sparked my recollection of it, but the last time I interacted with it I never got to the bottom of the process or to a resolution, basically. I know that I had had representations from alpaca owners who had lost a fairly lucrative market into the UK because the UK had effectively been told by the EU: ‘Either you follow our protocols or you’re out of the system,’ even though there was demand for Australian product, particularly out of Tassie, into that market. My recollection is that, because we did not recognise what they called their bluetongue-free zones, they were not prepared to recognise our processes. I would appreciate an update on that, if that is possible.

Answer:

National Livestock Identification Scheme (NLIS)

The Australian Alpaca Association Ltd (AAA) is receiving government funding to develop a traceability system for alpacas. To date it has developed a business plan, conducted research into viable options and is developing a recommendation for the final system for implementing the NLIS (Alpacas). The AAA is exploring options to

Senate Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport Legislation Committee ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ON NOTICE Budget Estimates May 2009 Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry

Question: AQIS22 (continued)

adopt a radio frequency identification tag system without the need for a visual tag system. It is anticipated that the AAA will be delivering the outcomes according to the time line as agreed for the funding, which requires finalisation of the system to be used for the NLIS (Alpacas) by 30 June 2010.

Bluetongue

The European Commission has not recognised Australia’s bluetongue-free zones.

The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry has been seeking European Commission recognition of the regionalisation of bluetongue disease in Australia since 1990. Recognition would facilitate the export of ruminants (including cattle, sheep and alpacas) from Australia to European Union member states. Biosecurity Australia has provided updated submissions every few years.

In 2004 Biosecurity Australia and the European Commission agreed on a principles paper for assessing regionalisation requests in accordance with international guidelines.

Question: AQIS24

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: Washing of Boots Hansard Page: Written

Senator Heffernan asked:

AQIS @ Airports – washing of boots/shoes on return from UK & Europe When returning to Australia from overseas, especially UK and Europe, we all know passengers are asked to declare whether they have visited a farm or property, when they answer YES, these passengers should then be asked to show and clean their shoes, boots etc on arrival. It has come to my attention that AQIS officials seem to be very slack or remiss in this area, I know many Australian passengers (especially farmers) who are very conscious of FMD in UK, they wash their boots prior to arriving back in Australia, put boots into a plastic bag, and after insisting to AQIS they should inspect his boots, AQIS rewash the boots (as they should do) and then place the boots back into the same bag!!! 1. This process seems to be extremely slack, what are the processes and guidelines AQIS has to follow? 2. Is this a random procedure or are all passengers supposed to be checked if they declare they have been on a farm in UK/Europe? 3. Why does it take AQIS (in some instances) up to 3 times to be asked (this is a FACT) to have their boots inspected? 4. How do you explain boots being washed and then being placed back in the same bag? Does this concern you? 5. Would like name of departmental official and contact details please who handles this issue?

Answer:

1. Items are inspected for the presence of contaminants that may be a source of disease or pests. The treatment process is conducted to remove the contaminant that may be present on the footwear but is not a disinfection process. If a passenger says they have washed their footwear, there is no basis (scientific or reasonable) on which the footwear should be washed again unless contamination is found. 2. At Australian International Airports the type of intervention being used is determined by the profiling of passengers and targeted questioning based on the responses on the Incoming Passenger Card (IPC). Passengers who declare they have been on a farm in UK or Europe have their footwear routinely inspected and treated if contamination of quarantine concern is found. 3. See answer to question one. 4. See answer to question one.

Question: AQIS25

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: AQIS Hansard Page: Written

Senator Heffernan asked:

1. What quantity of marinated prawn products have been imported since the late 2008 after the importers had to resubmit applications? 2. Do you test for the virus IHHNV (this was detected in QLD)? 3. Which other countries ban imported marinated prawns? 4. How many companies applied for a permit after late 2008, how many were refused and how many were accepted? 5. Would like name of departmental official and contact details please who handles this issue in the Department? 6. Could we see a list of the successful applicants since 1 July 2008? 7. On what grounds are some permits given and some are refused? 8. Can we have a list of the companies that have been refused permits since 1 July 2008? 9. Do you test for nitrofuran (antibiotics) on these imported prawns? 10. Are you aware of some Australian importers washing off the marinade and using them for another use? If so, what is AQIS doing about it? 11. If not aware of this practice, is AQIS concerned and how does AQIS intend to monitor this practice?

Answer:

1. From 1 October 2008 to 25 June 2009 a total of approximately 3,300 tonnes of marinated prawns were imported. 2. No. Following advice from Biosecurity Australia (BA), AQIS varied all import permits for prawns requiring testing for IHHNV to remove this requirement from 11 September 2008. 3. AQIS is not aware of any country that has banned the importation of marinated prawns. 4. From October 2008 – June 2009, 142 import permit applications were received for marinated prawns. 82 applications were approved and 60 refused. 5.

7. Highly marinated wet and dry prawn products are assessed on a case by case basis by BA and AQIS and must meet the following requirements: a) Wet marinated product - Prawns in a wet marinade with permitted flavour components that are no less than 12% of the total weight of the product b) Dry marinated product - Prawns in a dry marinade with permitted flavour components that are clearly seen to coat the product. BA and AQIS also consider whether the flavouring ingredients used to marinade the prawn genuinely adds flavour to the prawn product, and whether the product is not an attempt to avoid testing requirements for raw prawn products. The import permits list the specific products that have been assessed as meeting these requirements. 8. Refer to response to question 6 (see table above). 9. Under the Imported Food Inspection Scheme, imported prawns and prawn products from all countries are tested for the presence of nitrofurans at the rate of 5% of consignments.

Question: AQIS26

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: AQIS Hansard Page: Written

Senator Heffernan asked:

1. I know Australia does not import sheep casings from China but my concern is the permit process from AQIS, what steps does AQIS take to ensure casings from USA but we know have been processed in China are disease free? 2. For instance, in Japan with the Japanese casing industry, they have compulsory sterilisation procedures which is not the case here in Australia. The Japanese govt is obviously well aware of the disease and low standard of hygiene in these Chinese factories. 3. Why isn't AQIS concerned like the Japanese Government or taking similar steps? 4. In Australia, I understand all you have to do is submit your US sheep casing permit to AQIS and the US companies will arrange the rest, is this true? 5. Who checks the US companies to see where their product is manufactured? 6. Would like name of departmental official and contact details please? 7. Do you think AQIS is acting irresponsibly with the importation of these particular casings? If not, will you be looking into this loophole? 8. Don't you think AQIS is creating a loophole here in Australia, honest Australian operators will break the law as Australian runners can't compete against those produced in China on price alone. 9. In light of the global economic crisis and the Government's pledge to keep Australian jobs, I know of one factory that has closed, this has cost 100's of jobs, put Australia's disease free status at risk – this situation does not help Australian workers, Australian abattoirs, Australian farmers, is there any assistance from DAFF to assist these businesses?

Answer:

1. No import permit has been issued for Australian casings that have undergone processing in China and then exported back into Australia via the U.S.A. or any other country. Furthermore, the U.S Department of Agriculture – Food Safety and Inspection Service does not permit the export of casings to Australia that have been processed in countries such as China, which do not have meat inspection systems equivalent to the U.S.A. system. 2. Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) has not issued import permits for casings that originate from or are processed in China.

Question: AQIS27

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: Government 40 per cent subsidy Hansard Page: Written

Senator Heffernan asked:

10. Government has NOT extended the 40% subsidy on the basis that there is no appropriation in budget to continue the $144M program, how will AQIS and the Government ensure a fair and equitable charging system around the $32m increase from 1 July 2009 across the Red Meat Industry processors? 11. To offset the $32m increase from 1 July 2009, what are the range and value of efficiency dividends AQIS will deliver in Year 1 to offset these additional costs? 12. How much of the additional costs does the 40% increase place on an export meat plant? 13. Is it around 50%, 60% or higher? 14. Does the Department and the Government intend to introduce the 40% increase from 1 July 2009? 15. Has AQIS a program to take costs out of the Meat Inspection Program to offset the cost increase? If so, what is this program?

Answer:

10. The Australian Government Cost Recovery Guidelines have been applied to all fees and charges. 11. Joint Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS)/ Industry Ministerial taskforces have been established to identify key areas of reform for their industry that would allow efficiencies for the delivery of government inspection activities and improve productivity arrangements. 12. Estimated to be approximately 66 per cent dependant on the type of export processing facility. 13. Approximately 66 per cent. 14. AQIS export certification functions will return to 100 per cent cost recovery on 1 July 2009. 15. The AQIS/Meat Industry taskforce is identifying key areas of reform for their industry that would allow efficiencies for the delivery of government inspection activities and improve productivity arrangements.

Question: AQIS28

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: Cuts to Departmental budget Hansard Page: Written

Senator Heffernan asked:

1. Not only a massive $35.877 million cut in funding to Australia’s vital Quarantine and Bio-security programs, but a potential loss of 125 jobs, how will Biosecurity and AQIS cope with manage issues such as Equine Influenza incursion, Avian Influenza or the Chinese melamine milk scandal in the future without putting Australian lives, agricultural industries, the environment, the community and lucrative export markets at risk. 2. How can the Government justify budget cuts to our quarantine and bio-security programs and then impose enormous user charges on exporters who have no choice but to use AQIS services by up to 1352%. 3. The Beale Review Recommendation 73 stated the Commonwealth should increase its bio-security investment by an amount in the order of $260 million per annum, subject to a full costing by departments, to meet the recommendations of this report. Foot and Mouth disease would cost up to $13 billion a year and would result in the slaughter of potentially millions of animals, crippling our economy and devastating regional Australia, how can the Department ignore this recommendation and how will the department fund and address these serious matters in the future with lack of resources and funding?

Answer:

1. Note 2 on Page 69 of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Budget Statements states: The reduced AQIS funding in 2009-10 relates to the lapsing subsidy of export certification services. Funding and staffing levels for frontline quarantine services will be maintained. 2. The 40 per cent export certification subsidy will lapse as scheduled on 30 June 2009. The Australian Government Cost Recovery Guidelines have been applied to all fees and charges. The underlying principle of the guidelines is that entities should set charges to recover all the costs of products or services where it is efficient and effective to do so, where the beneficiaries are a narrow and identifiable group and where charging is consistent with Australian Government policy objectives. Fees and charges schedules have been developed in consultation with industry representatives.

Question: AQIS44

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: AQIS Hansard Page: Written

Senator Nash asked:

I refer you to one of many letters received by the Coalition from extremely angry exporters and primary producers in which Mr Mark Hall states:

‘This decision is an example of ill conceived, short sighted and poor Government Policy, which is in direct contradiction with its own Trade policy to encourage exports. This decision will lead to further job losses across the entire horticultural industry in Australia, as exporters become increasingly price uncompetitive in export markets as a direct result of poor Government policy. This is hard to understand when the Government is giving away $billions to taxpayers while strangling off small business and primary industry exports, who are major employers.’

Do you agree with Mr Mark Hall that the abolition will lead to job losses across the entire horticultural industry?

Answer:

No.

Question: AQIS45

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: AQIS Hansard Page: Written

Senator Nash asked:

I refer to another of the many letters received by the Coalition from Mr Keith Richards which states;

‘A pall has been cast over our usual primary producers’ optimism by the news of the proposed outrageous hike of 40 per cent increase in AQIS charges for export inspections, proposed to take effect from 1 July 2009. No other country in the world seeks to recover full cost recovery for compulsory export inspection from its export sector, for a community service obligation, which benefits all horticultural producers whether they export of not.’

Does the Government believe that guaranteeing our international reputation as a provider of high quality, disease free agricultural products is something that benefits every single Australian? If so, why are export certification not treat as a ‘public good’, or a community service obligation?

Is Australia the only country in the world which will recover the full costs for a compulsory export certification and inspection service?

Answer:

The underlying principle of the Australian Government Cost Recovery Guidelines is that entities should set charges to recover all the costs of products or services where it is efficient and effective to do so, where the beneficiaries are a narrow and identifiable group and where charging is consistent with government policy objectives. Under the guidelines Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service fees and charges do not fit the criteria of ‘public good’ characteristics or generate significant spillover benefits to the broader community.

Market access and market maintenance activities in support of export industries are seen as potentially benefiting a range of exporting companies or the whole industry and are therefore funded by government. This includes funding staff in Trade and Market Access Division, Biosecurity Australia and the AQIS Exports Divisions who are involved in negotiating new or improved market access, favourable certification condition, changes to requirements of importing countries and generally maintaining access for Australia's exports.

The level of Government funding for export inspection services varies between countries. For example Canada administers fees for export services, including; an

Question: AQIS45 (continued)

establishment registration fee and a fee for inspection services. Fees are also charged for export certificates, registration of product labels and for product laboratory analysis. These fees are partially subsidised.

In Argentina, the export inspection system is funded primarily by industry. Establishments are required to pay a monthly inspection service fee which varies depending on the size of the establishment and the animal species being processed.

The New Zealand Food Safety Authority’s (NZFSA) activities are partly funded by the Government (approximately 32 per cent) however the majority is funded by industry.

Question: AQIS48

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: AQIS Hansard Page: Written

Senator Nash asked:

What type of legislation is being drafted? Will it have to be passed or tabled in both Houses of Parliament? When is it proposed that this occur, given the 40 per cent rebate is slated to be axed by 1st July 2009?

Answer:

In order to implement the government’s decision to return to 100 per cent cost recovery by 1 July 2009, it is necessary to amend the: ƒ Export Control (Fees) Orders 2001 ƒ Australian Meat and Live-stock Industry (Export Licensing) Regulations 1998 ƒ Export Inspection (Establishment Registration Charges) Regulations 1985 ƒ Export Inspection (Quantity Charge) Regulations 1985.

The amendment to the Orders and Regulations must be approved and registered on the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments before 30 June 2009 to take effect on 1 July 2009. Tabling in the House of Representatives and the Senate must occur within 6 sitting days of being registered.

Senator Nash asked:

Will the division be employing any staff under the graduate program in 2009-10?

Answer:

The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry’s Secretary has taken the decision to pause the department's graduate recruitment program for the 2009-10 financial year. This decision provides maximum flexibility in rearranging the department’s resources within the staffing estimate for 2009-10. Graduate staff will continue to be recruited to the Australian Bureau of Agricultural Research Economic’s graduate program.

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: Lapsing International Mail Program Hansard Page: Written

Senator Nash asked:

What is the lapsing International Mail program? How many people are employed in this program? Why is it lapsing? When was it initiated? What was the purpose of this program? How much funding has been committed to the program over the life of the program? Will it be replaced or absorbed into other programs?

Answer:

The International Mail program is currently funded for 100 per cent quarantine intervention of inbound international mail articles (carried by Australia Post). The total budget allocation for the program for the 2007–08 financial year was $22.30 million. Of this, $18.9 million was provided through direct government funding ($15.2 million lapsing funding), $3.2 million from Australia Post and the remainder ($0.2 million) through revenue from service fee charges. The government has renewed the lapsing component of this program for the 2009–10 financial year to cover the current activity at international mail facilities across Australia.

The program currently funds 145 FTEs across four mail facilities to screen all mail arriving in Australia to detect and take action on items of quarantine concern.

How does increasing the costs to exporters increase our international competitiveness in the current financial circumstances, particularly given exports are expected to decline in the foreseeable future?

Answer:

Question: AQIS56

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: Imported Food Safety Hansard Page: Written

Senator Nash asked:

How many of the items from China inspected by AQIS were rejected? What were the reasons for rejecting the shipments? Have any prosecutions been launched?

Answer:

Of the 441 lines of food from China that were tested between 1 March 2009 and 25 May 2009 under the Imported Food Inspection Scheme:

• 26 lines failed for labelling or visual/suitability reasons • 5 lines failed for microbiological or chemical contamination

There have been no prosecutions for these failures. When an imported food is found to be non-compliant with Australian food standards, it is required to be treated, destroyed or re-exported when under Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service control.

Question: AQIS59

Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: AQIS Hansard Page: Written

Senator Nash asked:

The Budget Related Paper No. 1.1, Portfolio Budget Statements 2009 -10, Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Portfolio, states on page 67; “Outcome 2: Safeguard Australia’s animal and plant health status to maintain overseas markets and protect the economy and environment from the impact of exotic pests and diseases, through risk assessment, inspection and certification, and the implementation of emergency response arrangements for Australian agricultural, food and fibre industries.’ How does cutting 125 staffing positions possible help deliver Outcome 2?

Answer:

As indicated by the Secretary in his opening statement to the Committee, to manage the department’s outcomes within its budget appropriation while maintaining a financially secure position, the department estimates staffing levels may need to decrease by about six per cent. Further, the Secretary advised that the change in staffing levels will not be achieved by an across-to-board cut and that the department’s resource allocations decisions will reflect priorities and realise opportunity to achieve efficiencies. I also refer you to page 69 of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Portfolio Budget Statements 2009-10, Note 2, which indicates that any change in average staffing levels will be managed without impacts on frontline operations.
