Media release
Deadline for submissions on methyl bromide reassessment extended
The Environmental Risk Management Authority has extended the deadline for submissions on the reassessment of fumigant methyl bromide.
ERMA New Zealand Hazardous Substances General Manager Andrea Eng says a request for an extension to the deadline for submissions was received and has been granted.
Submitters now have until Friday, 26 February, 2010 to make submissions on the reassessment application.
A final decision on the future use of methyl bromide in New Zealand will be made in mid-late 2010, once the application, public submissions and any other information relevant to the reassessment has been considered by a decision-making committee of the Authority.
