  • There was concern over the removal of efficacy as an assessment criterion due to potential impacts on animal welfare and biosecurity
  • Stakeholders highlighted the high cost of retaining accreditation and how this may impact willingness to become/stay accredited
  • It would be beneficial to have greater clarity relating to emergency permits and the criteria for use
  • Upfront feed for registration may act as a deterrent
