Industries Development Commission Notice No. 1976/4
BOOK PRODUCTION INQUIRY
-
In a letter of 17 June 1976, the Minister of Trade and Industry requested that the Commission inquire and report on the present situation and prospects of, and recommend lines of development and upon the nature and extent of assistance, whether by means of protective devices or otherwise, it considers appropriate for New Zealand industries in relation to books of headings 49.01 and 49.03, and items 49.05.001 and 49.11.004 of Chapter 49 of the Customs Tariff. When making its inquiry and report the Commission may take evidence on and otherwise have regard to any other material or product it considers relevant to the inquiry under reference or exclude from its consideration any material or product it might consider not relevant to such inquiry. The relevant Tariff provisions are set out in the Schedule to this notice.
-
The reference follows discussions held between the Department of Trade and Industry, the Commission, and interested parties, and arises from the desire of the book printing section of the printing industry to produce within its industry those publications, published for the New Zealand market, which it has the technical capacity to produce, but which are, to varying extents, being produced outside New Zealand. It is not a general inquiry into the protective requirements of the printing industry outside its production of books.
-
For the purpose of taking evidence the Commission will hold a public hearing in the Hearing Room, Eighth Floor, Cumberland House, Upper Willis Street, Wellington, on Tuesday, 12 October 1976, commencing at 10.30 a.m.
-
Any person who intends to tender evidence should lodge, in type-written form, 14 copies of public evidence and 12 copies of confidential evidence to be presented under oath at the public hearing, at the Commission's office no later than Friday, 10 September 1976. In preparing this evidence the “Notes for Information and Guidance of Interested Parties” prepared by the Tariff and Development Board may be of assistance. Copies of these notes may be obtained from the Commission’s office.
Dated at Wellington this 24th day of June 1976.
P.O. Box 27046, Wellington.

Secretary, Industries Development Commission.
