Published regulatory decisions

We regulate the export of live animals under our regulatory framework. 

In regulating the export of live animals we make certain regulatory decisions.

We publish a public statement for significant regulatory decisions we make.

Public statements

On 16 June 2020, we made the decision to issue a reprimand to Australasian Global Exports Pty Ltd (AGE) for a breach of its licence conditions as it did not have sufficient systems and controls in place to ensure that livestock sourced for export met importing country requirements for a consignment being prepared in 2019. We were not satisfied that the AGE consignment met the importing country requirements and took immediate action to stop the export in 2019 when issues came to our attention.

On 2 June 2020, we made the decision to not grant Rural Export and Trading (WA) Pty Ltd an exemption to export livestock after 1 June. The livestock vessel Al Kuwait was unable to depart prior to June 1 as planned, following confirmed cases of COVID-19 among crew members. The exporter submitted an application to us for exemption from the June 1 export deadline under the Australian Meat and Live stock Industry (Prohibition of Export of Sheep by Sea to Middle East—Northern Summer) Order 2020, including an Animal Welfare Management Plan. A statement of reasons is here.
