This section has effect for the purposes of paragraphs 159(1)(b) and 161(1)(b).

The matters to which the holder of an approved arrangement and the Secretary must have regard in considering whether a variation, or the combined effect of 2 or more variations, of the approved arrangement is significant are as follows:

whether the variation, or the variations, may have the effect that carrying out a kind of export operations in relation to a kind of prescribed goods in accordance with the approved arrangement will no longer ensure:

compliance with the requirements of this Act in relation to those export operations and goods; or

that importing country requirements relating to those export operations and goods will be met;

whether the variation, or the variations, may adversely affect the Secretary’s ability to accurately assess:

whether carrying out a kind of export operations in relation to a kind of prescribed goods in accordance with the approved arrangement will ensure the matters referred to in subparagraphs (a)(i) and (ii); or

whether the integrity of a kind of prescribed goods covered by the approved arrangement can be ensured;

whether the variation or any of the variations:

is of a kind of export operations or a kind of prescribed goods covered by the approved arrangement; or

is of a kind prescribed by the rules.
