ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION AND BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION ACT 1999 - SECT 62

Revocation of notice of suspension or cancellation

  (1)   This section applies if the Minister:

  (a)   has given a notice under section   59 or 60 to suspend or cancel the effect of a bilateral agreement (either generally or in relation to actions in a specified class); and

  (b)   is later satisfied that the State or Territory that is party to the agreement will comply with the agreement and give effect to it in a way that:

  (i)   accords with the objects of this Act and the objects of this Part; and

  (ii)   promotes the discharge of Australia's obligations under all international agreements (if any) relevant to a matter covered by the agreement.

  (2)   The Minister must revoke the notice of suspension or cancellation by another written notice:

  (a)   given to the appropriate Minister of the State or Territory; and

  (b)   published in accordance with the regulations.

However, the Environment Minister must not revoke the notice of cancellation after cancellation of the effect of the agreement occurs.

  (3)   Suspension or cancellation of the effect of the agreement does not occur if the notice of suspension or cancellation is revoked before the suspension or cancellation would otherwise occur.

  (4)   Suspension of the effect of the agreement ends when the notice of suspension is revoked.
