Tariff and Development Board Notice No. 393—Inquiry
Concerning Protection for New Zealand Industry Producing
Carpet Joining Tape of Glass Fibre Fabrics—Public Hearing

1. Following receipt by the Minister of Customs of a report
   from the Emergency Protection Authority concerning
   temporary protection for the New Zealand industry producing
   carpet joining tape, the Minister notified the Board in a letter
   dated 18 December 1973 that the Authority had concluded
   that urgent action was necessary to protect the local industry
   and that the most suitable means of providing this protection
   was by way of import licensing. Government had accepted
   the Authority’s recommendation and the exemption from
   import licensing for carpet joining tape classified within Tariff
   items 70.20.201 and 70.20.231 had been withdrawn.

2. The Minister of Customs has requested the Board to
   undertake an inquiry and report on what permanent form of
   protection, if any, it considers necessary to protect the New
   Zealand industry in relation to the importation of carpet join-
   ing tapes of glass fibre fabrics classified within the above-
   mentioned Tariff items.

3. For the purpose of taking evidence the Board will hold
   a public hearing in the Hearing Room, Eighth Floor, Cumber-
   land House, Upper Willis Street, Wellington, on Tuesday, 23
   July 1974 commencing at 10.30 a.m.

4. Any person who intends to tender evidence should lodge,
   in typewritten form, 14 copies of public evidence and 12 copies
   of confidential evidence, to be presented under oath at the
   public hearing, at the Board’s office no later than 24 June

5. In preparing this evidence the “Notes for Information
   and Guidance of Interested Parties” prepared by the Board
   may be of assistance. Copies of these notes may be obtained
   from the Board’s office.

Tariff and Development Board Notice No. 395—Inquiry
Concerning Protection for New Zealand Industry Manu-
facturing Unsintered Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Tape—
Public Hearing

1. Following receipt by the Minister of Customs of a report
   from the Emergency Protection Authority on his inquiry into
   the question of temporary protection for the New Zealand
   industry manufacturing unsintered polytetrafluoroethylene
   (PTFE) tape, the Minister notified the Board in a letter dated
   5 December 1973 that the Authority had concluded that urgent
   action was necessary to protect the local industry and had
   recommended the imposition of a temporary additional duty
   representing the amount by which the f.o.b. price was less

THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE

than $1.45 per square metre, or $1.21 per square yard. He
had also recommended that the additional duty should not be
applied to tape of Australian origin. Since the Authority had
reported, there had been a number of changes in the price
structures of both the locally manufactured and the imported
tape and Government had decided not to accept the
Authority’s recommendation. However it had accepted his
conclusion that urgent action was necessary to protect the
position of the local manufacturer and this had been effected
by the re-imposition of import licensing control.

2. The Minister of Customs has requested the Board to
   undertake an inquiry and report, with the object of providing
   Government with a basis for restructuring and updating the
   Tariff to establish, where possible, adequate rates of duty pro-
   tection in respect of unsintered PTFE tape classified within
   Tariff item 39.02.111.

3. For the purpose of taking evidence the Board will hold a
   public hearing in the Hearing Room, Eighth Floor, Cumberland
   House, Upper Willis Street, Wellington, on Tuesday, 16
   July 1974 commencing at 10.30 a.m.

4. The attention of interested parties is drawn to the fact
   that the Board may find it appropriate to comment upon and
   compare the relative merits of protection by means of tariff
   rates and import licensing when used jointly or separately.

5. Any person who intends to tender evidence should lodge,
   in typewritten form, 14 copies of public evidence and 12
   copies of confidential evidence, to be presented under oath at
   the public hearing, at the Board’s office no later than 17 June

6. In preparing this evidence the “Notes for Information
   and Guidance of Interested Parties” prepared by the Board
   may be of assistance. Copies of these notes may be obtained
   from the Board’s office.
