(1) In a letter of 21 May 1981 to the Commission, the Minister
of Trade and Industry requested the Commission:

"To appraise the report of the interdepartmental study team
and report on the present situation of the New Zealand
electronics industry; the potential for its development;
and its potential to contribute to New Zealand's economic
growth, taking into account the interests of the manufac-
turers, employees, commercial and other users, and the
distributive trade.

To recommend a development plan covering future develop-
ment of the industry and action by the industry itself,
other associated sectors and the Government.

To report on the above inquiry by 31 December 1981.

For the purpose of this inquiry and report, the electronics
industry is to be considered to comprise both the con-
sumer and non-consumer electronics industries. However,
in undertaking its inquiry and report the Commission
may take evidence on and otherwise have regard to any
other matter or product it considers relevant to the inquiry
under reference, or exclude from its consideration any
matter or product it considers not relevant.

During the course of this inquiry and within the general
terms of this reference, the Commission may, at its dis-
cretion and on its own initiative, further this inquiry or
any part thereof by such means as it thinks fit, and give
such notification of its intention as it considers necessary."

in any of the areas covered by the above reference to register
that interest in writing with the Commission not later than
12 July 1981. Parties who intend to be represented by their
trade association need not register individually, but being
parties to a trade association submission does not preclude
parties registering and making their own submissions.

(3) Registration should include the following:

(b) The goods to which the interest relates.
(c) Status of interest under one or more of the following
classes.

sion requests written comments from interested parties on the

may have on the matters listed in Schedule I.

(5) Copies of the report of the inter-departmental study
team which was released by the Minister of Trade and Indus-
try on 19 May, can be obtained from the Commission or from
the Department of Trade and Industry.

(6) Seven copies of comments on the report should be pro-
vided in typewritten form. Those which contain confidential
information should be submitted separately from those which
can be referred to publicly by the Commission. Comments
should reach the Commission's office not later than 7 August
1981.

(7) The Commission does not have copies of material pro-
vided to either the D.S.I.R. for its recent study on the elec-
tronics industry or the Department of Trade and Industry
for the Electronics Industry Study because of confidentiality
provisions. If interested parties wish to make this material
available to the Commission they should forward a copy
direct to the Commission.

(8) After receiving comments on the study team's report,
the Commission will compile a draft report, with draft recom-
mendations. This will be distributed to parties which have
registered their interest in accordance with (2) above.

(9) Submissions will then be invited on the Commission's
draft report. These should be provided in typewritten form
with 14 copies of the public submissions and 12 copies of
confidential submissions. They will need to reach the Com-
mission's office not later than 9 October 1981.

(10) For the purpose of taking evidence on the submissions
on the Commission's draft report, the Commission will hold
a public hearing in the Hearing Room, Eighth Floor, Cumber-
land House, Upper Willis Street, Wellington, commencing at
10.30 a.m. on Tuesday, 20 October 1981. Should the hearing

(12) Coverage of the study—Schedule II provides a list of
the main Tariff headings for the purposes of this study. In all
cases, products which are clearly not electronic, but which fall
within these Tariff headings, will be excluded from considera-
tion by the Commission and from the Commission's recom-
mendations.

(13) In addition to the products classified under the head-
ings in Schedule II, the Commission would particularly
welcome comments (as per paragraph 4 above) and sub-
missions from suppliers of components and materials (whether
electronic, electrical or other), for electronic products. This
