My question is to the Minister for Agriculture, Senator Ludwig, who also represents the Minister for Health and Ageing. Food Standards Australia New Zealand gave evidence during a recent Senate estimates hearing indicating that the impending ban on the in import of orange juice concentrate containing the fungicide carbendazim was now under review due to lobbying from processors. This is despite a prior commitment from the government as recently as last month that it would ban the import of carbendazim in juice concentrate after the first quarter of 2012. Can the government please indicate how the so-called review of the ban on carbendazim in orange juice imports has progressed?
