Tçnâ koe Amelia,

 

Thank you for your Official Information Act (OIA) request of 20 May 2023:

 

Related to the Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines Amendment
Act 2007.

 

Please provide all compounds listed by the director General as exempt
under section 8B and section 8C. Please also provide any relevant
conditions or regulations imposed with their use.

 

You have requested a large amount of information that we are unsure we can
process. Under section 8C, there have been roughly 100 approvals each
year. Each approval would need to be manually checked to see if it can be
released as each may have to be withheld for commercial sensitivity
reasons. The time it will take to review, collate, and assemble that
information for release to you is substantial and will not be able to be
completed without it impinging on our ability to meet other obligations we
have. As your request stands at present, it is likely to be declined under
section 18(f) of the OIA which applies where the information cannot be
made available without substantial collation or research.  

 

Are you able to refine your request? For example, are you interested in
approvals from a certain time period? Are you interested in certain
compounds? Are you interested in certain uses?

 

If you’re able to provide any context around why you are making this
request, it will help us to provide you with relevant information.

 

For us to proceed with your request, can you please respond by Monday, 5
June. Let us know if you have any questions.

 

Ngâ mihi,
