Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document appears to be the European Launcher Development Organisation (Privileges and Immunities) Regulations 1978, made under the International Organizations (Privileges and Immunities) Act 1963. Based on the fragment provided, its only visible provision is the repeal of earlier 1968 regulations that previously covered the same organisation.

The European Launcher Development Organisation (ELDO) was an international body established to develop satellite launch vehicles (it later merged into the European Space Agency). Regulations like these typically grant legal protections—such as immunity from certain lawsuits, tax exemptions, or customs privileges—to international organisations and their staff operating in Australia.

Important: The provided text appears incomplete. It contains only the preamble (authority, date, ministerial signatures) and the repeal clause. The substantive provisions detailing what specific privileges and immunities apply are missing from the excerpt.
