June 4, 2004 -- New Zealand Herald reported that Meat and Wool New Zealand, a combination of the former Meat Board and the remnants of the deregulated Wool Board, is set to start operations July 1.
Cros Spooner, acting chief executive, said a parliamentary select committee had recommended only a few amendments to the proposed enabling legislation. The July 1 date was set to allow the meat levy to be collected under the Commodities Levy Act and for Meat and Wool NZ to start collecting the wool levy as well.
