National Response Plan - APVMA Reviews of Dimethoate and Fenthion

In order to ensure a coordinated response to the APVMA reviews of dimethoate and fenthion a National Response Plan was developed.  The Plan aims to secure ongoing trade, both domestically and internationally, with minimal disruption to existing supplies of commodities considered to be ‘at risk' from changes in uses as a result of the APVMA reviews.  Click here to open the National Response Plan.
