CCA president Keith Adams said he had asked to meet with deputy PM John Anderson, Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Warren Truss, and the Minister for Trade, Mark Vaile.
“We have accepted Minister Truss’ decision that he will put in place a Tribunal to provide advice on various elements of the scheme for the remainder of this year”, Adams said: “However, CCA considers that the Red Meat Advisory Council should be primarily responsible for providing advice on a scheme for 2003 and beyond, and we are keen to establish a process which would be acceptable to all parties.”
“Whatever model is implemented in the future will have a significant impact on trade, not only with the US, but all beef and live cattle markets around the world. Therefore, we have asked that the Minister for Trade, Mark Vaile, be part of these discussions.
“Cattle Council will continue to pursue outcomes that will maximise returns to cattle producers and remains committed to working with all parties to bring about a resolution to these issues, in the best interests of the national cattle industry.”
