28 OCTOBER THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 3599

Manufacturers in applying for a share of MEALs should provide the following information.

Only producers of goods within a specific item code are eligible for licences under that item code. The information should be provided by letter addressed to:

The Secretary,
Department of Trade and Industry,
Private Bag,
Wellington,
Attention: Executive Officer,
General Industries (2).

1. Item code under which licence is sought. (Separate submissions should be made for each item code.)
2. Brief description of products to be imported.
3. Amount of licence sought. The maximum entitlement per manufacturer is 25 percent of total EALs in an item code, i.e., 50 percent of the MEALs, and the minimum entitlement is $5,000.
4. Value of production for the domestic market of goods within the item code in the company’s last financial year valued at ex-factory prices, excluding freight. Production for export must be excluded. It is very important that the value of production figure should not be overstated. If it is subsequently found to be overstated the company will face the risk that its licence could be revoked.
5. Details of any plans/proposals the company may have to establish a rationalisation/complementation relationship with an Australian company. (See Guideline (e).)

NOTES:
(i) In cases where the actual manufacture of goods is carried out by one company on behalf of another, the eligibility for manufacturers’ licences will generally be considered to lie with the principal who is responsible for initiating production and for marketing the goods.

(ii) In cases where guideline (g) applies the figure for total domestic production of goods in the item code to be used by the department in making decisions on allocation is the total production by those companies which apply for a share of manufacturers’ EALs.

(iii) The names and value of licences issued to each company, item code by item code, will be published.

(B) Import Licence Tendering—Call For Tenders—Round Eleven

(i) ANZCERT TEAL ALLOCATION

(ii) GLOBAL LICENCES

PURSUANT to the Import Control Regulations 1973, Amendment No. 3 (S.R. 1980/246), the Secretary of Trade and Industry, acting under delegated authority is calling tenders for import licences for the goods specified below:

(i) ANZCERT Teal Allocation

In terms of the Australia - New Zealand Closer Economic Relations Treaty import licences are to be tendered for the goods as listed in this part of the Gazette.

These are Tendered Exclusive Australian Licences (TEAL’s) and are only for goods which comply with the ANZCERT rules of origin, i.e., For goods of Australian origin only, i.e., products which meet the criteria for Australian origin as contained in the Customs Regulations 1968, as amended. The New Zealand/Australia Rules of Origin are detailed in Article 3 of the ANZCERT Treaty.

The Guide to Import Licence Tendering including ANZCERT is contained in the Supplement to the New Zealand Gazette, No. 50 of 15 April 1983. Copies may also be obtained from any office of the Department of Trade and Industry.

On this occasion tenders will close on 21 November but will not be opened until 1 December. This is to allow licence not allocated under the MEAL (Manufacturers’ Exclusive Australian Licence) arrangement to be added to the tender pool, i.e.,

• The amount of TEALs up for tender is 50 percent of the total EAL available under each item code.

• Manufacturers (See (A) Manufacturers’ Exclusive Australian Licence above) can apply for up to 50 percent of the EALs. Where they do not take up the full 50 percent the balance will be added to the tender pool for each item code.

Licences won by tender under the ANZCERT arrangement are notionally valid from 1 January 1983 to 30 June 1984. However, because in fact these are not likely to be issued until January 1984, extensions will be granted where necessary to allow a full year’s usage.

Licence left over after tendering will be available on application. Applications may be made once the results have been published in the Gazette and will close one month after the date on which that is published. Applications should be made to John Diamond, Executive Officer, General Industries, Department of Trade and Industry, Private Bag, Wellington.

Yellow bid forms are available for tendering under ANZCERT. Bids will not be invalidated, however, if entered on the blue official bid forms.

(ii) Global Licence Tenders

The normal rules for tendering apply to the tenders listed below. Bids should be entered on the blue bid forms although these will not be declared invalid if inadvertently entered on the yellow forms.
