FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
TRADE WITH AUSTRALIA PROPOSAL TO LIFT EMBARGOES Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. CANBERRA, June 20. Resumption of the trade in fresh fruit and vegetables between Australia and New Zealand was recommended by a conference of experts. The conference decided that imports of apples from New Zealand should be subject to certification by dominion authorities that the fruit was from uninfected orchards and without practical risk. The knowledge now available of powdery scab is sufficient to justify the Commonwealth’s lifting of the prohibition on the importation of New Zealand potatoes. The conference accordingly recommends that course. It was also agreed that, subject to certification by the departments of agriculture in the various States, importation of citrus fruits by New Zealand be resumed without risk of the introduction of fruit fly. Those decisions, said the Federal Minister of Health (Mr C. IV. Carr), which are based on scientific evidence, would be submitted to the Governments of New Zealand and Australia for approval before any action was taken.
