Second Reading Speech
Mr Frydenberg(Minister for the Environment and Energy)I move:
That this bill be now read a second time.
This bill will support the implementation of the Product Emissions Standards Bill 2017 by making a consequential amendment to the Customs Act 1901.
The bill amends the Customs Act 1901 to clarify that goods imported or exported in contravention of the product emissions standards legislation are not forfeited to the Crown under the Customs Act 1901.
This will streamline the implementation of the product emissions standards legislation and ensure that all compliance and enforcement measures are overseen by the Department of the Environment and Energy.
Debate adjourned.
