In accordance with the provisions of the Meat Board Act 2004, Quota Allowance Allocation System in Respect of European
Union (EU) Sheepmeat and Goatmeat Tariff Rate Quota and the Quota Allowance Allocation System in Respect of United
States (US) Beef and Veal Tariff Rate Quota, up to 2% of each of the total annual tariff quotas available to New Zealand is set
aside as Reserved Quota Allowance (RQA) for possible allocation to New Entrants.

The closing date for applications from New Entrants (including Year 2 and Year 3 New Entrants) for RQA for the 2011 Quota
Year for both tariff quotas is 1 September 2010.

Applications must be made in writing on Form 7 (US Beef and Veal) or Form 8 (EU Sheepmeat and Goatmeat), Section 17 of
the respective Quota Manuals.

Printable copies of the appropriate application forms are available from New Zealand Meat Board’s website at
http://www.nzmeatboard.org
or by contacting the board directly.

Please Note: Applications for RQA for the 2011 Quota Year must be completed using the correct forms.

Applications received after the closing date will be regarded as late and will be considered only at the discretion of the board.
Incomplete applications will be returned to the applicant for completion and therefore risk being received after the closing date.

Applicants must provide:

● a non-refundable New Entrant Application Fee of $10,500.00 + GST for each quota applied for; and

– evidence of marketing arrangements with accompanying letter(s) of confirmation if applicable.

New Entrant applicants for EU Sheepmeat and Goatmeat or US Beef and Veal RQA are advised that any New Entrant that has
not produced qualifying product by the end of March in the applicable production season shall have any conditional RQA held
by that applicant revert to the board for reallocation in accordance with the provisions of the respective Quota Allowance
Allocation Systems.

Note: Variable Participation Fees of $1.20 + GST (per tonne) payable by New Entrant and General Quota Holders will be
notified by the board following the annual allocation of TRQ Allowances and are due by 31 December 2010.

In relation to the EU Sheepmeat and Goatmeat Tariff Rate Quota, the tariff rate applying to “in quota” imports is zero.

The US Beef and Veal Tariff Rate Quota has a tariff rate applying to “in quota” imports of $US0.044 per kilogram on most
beef products.
