3492 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 144

The New Zealand regulations permit lipase as an enzyme and allow "harmless preparations of enzymes obtained from Aspergillus flavus oryzae or Aspergillus niger" in the preparation of bread.

Titanium dioxide as a food colour (A266). This application from Goodman Fielder Limited seeks to extend the use of titanium dioxide to all foods where colouring is permitted—draft variations to Standard A5—Colourings, B4—Custard Mix, Dessert Mix, Custard Powder and Dairy Based Desserts and K4—Icing and Icing Mixture.

New Zealand permits titanium dioxide as a food colouring in its schedule of permitted colourings which may be used wherever food colourings are permitted. If approved by ANZFSC, the variation will allow Australian manufacturers and New Zealand manufacturers who choose to apply the Australian Food Standards Code to use titanium dioxide as a colouring.

Ascorbic acid in soft drinks and electrolyte drinks (A272). This application from Reckitt and Coleman Products seeks to permit the addition of ascorbic acid, erythorbic acid and their sodium salts as antioxidants to soft drinks and electrolyte drinks at a maximum level of 250 mg/L—draft variations to Standard A7—Antioxidants, Standard O4—Soft Drinks and Soft Drink Products, and Standards R9—Supplementary Foods.

New Zealand regulations permit the addition of ascorbic acid to fruit flavoured drinks, artificial drinks and drink flavour or drink concentrates with no maximum level specified. New Zealand has no regulation for electrolyte drinks.

Flavourings in coffee (A284). This application from Unifoods seeks to permit the addition of flavourings to coffee and related products—draft variation to Standard Q2—Coffee, Chicory and Related Products.

New Zealand regulations permit the use of flavourings in coffee and, by way of carryover from the coffee, would permit the presence of flavourings in related products. The amendment to the Australian Food Standards Code enhances alignment with the New Zealand regulations although, in New Zealand, flavourings could not be added to a product such as instant coffee per se but could be present in instant coffee as carryover from the coffee.

Alignment of food additive code numbers and class names (P138). The authority prepared this proposal to include additional food additive code numbers and food additive class names and to include a specification for "Glycine"—draft variations to Standard A1—Labelling and Advertising, and Standard A11—Specifications for Identity and Purity of Food Additive, Food Processing Aids, Vitamins, Minerals and Other Nutrients.

The authority prepared this proposal to enhance alignment with the New Zealand regulations and with the Codex Alimentarius and to assist in trans-Tasman trade.

Public Notice

The Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975
The State-Owned Enterprises Act 1986

This notice concerns land at the corner of East Tamaki and Chapel Roads, East Tamaki, and Maori claims under the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975.

The land at the corner of East Tamaki and Chapel Roads, East Tamaki, is described in legal terms as all that parcel of land containing 46.1660 hectares, more or less, being Section 1, Survey Office Plan 65768, and being all the land comprised and described in certificate of title, Volume 18D, folio 831 (North Auckland Registry).

The land was once owned by the Crown. It was transferred to a State-owned enterprise under the State-Owned Enterprises Act 1986.

There is a special notice or "memorial" on the certificate of title for the land which provides that, if the Waitangi Tribunal recommends it, the land shall be resumed by the Crown and returned to Maori ownership (see sections 27A and 27B of the State-Owned Enterprises Act 1986).

The current owner of the land, MICHAEL’S MANAGEMENT SERVICES LIMITED has applied to the Waitangi Tribunal to have this notice removed. The application has been made under section 8D of the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975.

ANY MAORI PERSON WHO CONSIDERS THAT THEY, OR ANY GROUP WHICH THEY BELONG TO, HAS A CLAIM TO MAKE TO THE WAITANGI TRIBUNAL ABOUT THIS LAND, SHOULD SUBMIT THEIR CLAIM TO THE WAITANGI TRIBUNAL BEFORE THE 15TH DAY OF JANUARY 1997.

Section 6 of the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975, describes what a claim is. Claims may be posted or sent to the Registrar, Waitangi Tribunal, 110 Featherston Street (P.O. Box 5022), Wellington.

If no claim about this land is made to the Waitangi Tribunal before the 15th day of January 1997, then the tribunal may recommend that the land no longer be liable to be resumed by the Crown and returned to Maori ownership under section 27B of the State-Owned Enterprises Act 1986.

Dated at Auckland this 2nd day of October 1996.

M. D. ANDREWS of Morrison Kent, Solicitors for the Applicant, P.O. Box 222, Auckland.
