By designating the Grains Council, the legislation ensures the wheat industry controls its own levy funding to invest in projects that benefit growers and exporters."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/primary-industries-customs-charges-designated-body-declaration-2003","history":"/api/acts/primary-industries-customs-charges-designated-body-declaration-2003/history","analysis":"/api/acts/primary-industries-customs-charges-designated-body-declaration-2003/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/primary-industries-customs-charges-designated-body-declaration-2003/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/primary-industries-customs-charges-designated-body-declaration-2003/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/primary-industries-customs-charges-designated-body-declaration-2003/documents"}}
