Food Act 2003

Despite the amendment of the definition of enforcement agency by the Food Amendment Act 2007, a relevant body that, immediately before the commencement of that amendment, was prescribed by the regulations as an enforcement agency is taken to continue from that commencement to be an enforcement agency for the purposes of that definition until—

the expiration of the period of 18 months after that commencement, or

the appointment of the relevant body as an enforcement agency under section 111, or

the publication in the Gazette of an order made by the Food Authority declaring that the relevant body is no longer an enforcement agency,

Nothing in this clause prevents a relevant body who ceases to be an enforcement agency by operation of this clause from subsequently being appointed as an enforcement agency under section 111.

In this clause, relevant body has the same meaning as in Division 2 of Part 9.
