The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) is seeking feedback on proposed options for export exemptions under the Food Act 2014, relating to food labelling and composition. Export New Zealand (ExportNZ) is pleased to contribute to this work and submit our feedback on the discussion document titled “Proposed Options for Export Exemptions from New Zealand Composition and/or Labelling Requirements Under the Food Act 2014”
(The Discussion Document).

This submission is made on behalf of the New Zealand International Business Forum (NZIBF) and ExportNZ. NZIBF, whose members are listed at Annex A,1 is a forum of
senior business leaders working together to promote New Zealand’s engagement in the global economy. ExportNZ, a division of BusinessNZ, is a national industry association representing a diverse range of exporters throughout New Zealand.

ExportNZ does not support including international aviation and shipping (IAS) emissions in
the 2050 target in the current Review of the 2050 target. There are a number of issues outlined
below, and that have already been identified by the Climate Change Commission which lead us to
believe there needs to be more work internationally before we can commit to including the emissions
in the 2050 Goal and levying the sector. We support New Zealand’s commitment to international
initiatives led by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and the International Civil Aviation
Organisation (ICAO). We support reconsidering this issue in the near future once there is an effective
global pathway to transition to green transport fuels.

Export New Zealand (ExportNZ) welcomes the opportunity to comment regarding the potential
for a New Zealand-United Emirates Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (NZ-UAE
CEPA).
