It may help to indicate that the purpose of the QA scheme will not be to dictate the quality of wheat that can be exported but rather be to ensure that exporters are meeting the specifications of their contracts with customers. This will allow exporters to fill niche markets and market opportunities according to what the consumer wants, rather than limiting exports to artificially preset standards. In relation to the matter that Senator Joyce raised, I do not think that would be part of the quality assurance scheme.
