(1) For the purposes of subsection 82(5) of the Act, the accreditation of a farm for EU export meat production operations remains in force for a period of 12 months starting on the day the accreditation takes effect.

Note 1: The Secretary must give written notice of the date the accreditation takes effect (see paragraph 81(d) of the Act).

Note 2: The last day of the 12 month period is the expiry date for the accreditation unless an expiry date set under subsection 79(4) or 84(3) or paragraph 90(1)(c) or (d) of the Act is in force in relation to the accreditation. The accreditation of the farm remains in force until the end of the expiry date unless, before that date, it is renewed under Part 3 of the Act or revoked (see subsection 82(2) of the Act).
