Executive Summary
A Trans-Tasman liaison group has been set up to pursue closer cooperation between Australia and New Zealand on trade in therapeutic goods, including medical devices. This sector was given a temporary exemption - until May 1999 - from the 1996 Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Agreement in order to allow cooperation programmes on device and pharmaceutical regulation to be undertaken between the two countries.
