TPPA National Interest Analysis guidance related to bottled water.
Jan Rivers made this Official Information request to Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade
The request was partially successful.
From: Jan Rivers
Dear Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade,
I would like to see any communications within MFAT or between MFAT and other government departments providing guidance about the National Interest Analysis for the TPPA including how it should be structured and what material should be included in order that the Foreign Affairs and Trade Select Committee could understand the impacts of the TPPA. I would also like to have any communications about how this advice played out in the decision to exclude section of Annex 11 related to non compliant measures that says:
" This reservation does not apply to the wholesale trade and retail of bottled mineral, aerated and natural water."
Yours faithfully
Jan Rivers
