Download Efficiency and contestability of the New Zealand dairy industry – amendments to the Dairy Industry Restructuring Act 2001 and the Dairy Industry Restructuring (Raw Milk) Regulations 2012 – Cabinet paper

This paper proposes amendments to the Dairy Industry Restructuring Act 2001 (DIRA) and the Dairy Industry Restructuring (Raw Milk) Regulations 2012 (Raw Milk Regulations), largely arising from the recent review of the state of competition in dairy markets. This paper also proposes new regulations for ongoing monitoring of dairy markets and technical amendments to the DIRA to recognise the change in management arrangements for the New Zealand Dairy Core Database that was agreed by Cabinet in 2014.
