Last updated: 23 Oct 2007Call for Submissions
The Reference Group places high priority on the views and expertise of all individuals and organisations with interests in the future direction of the agriculture and food sector.
The Reference Group’s call for submissions closed on Monday 18 July 2005. However, the Group remains interested in views relevant to the terms of reference and late submissions are possible with prior agreement from the Secretariat.
Important: Please be aware that, due to the strict timeframe that the Reference Group is working to, the Secretariat cannot guarantee that the Group will have time to fully consider all late submissions.
If you would like to lodge a late submission, please contact the Secretariat as soon as possible.
How to make a submission
Submissions can be a short letter outlining views on a few aspects of the Reference Group’s work, or a more detailed document covering a broad range of issues.
Contributors are asked to frame their submissions, where possible, against the challenges and questions raised in the Reference Group’s Issues Paper.
Please note: The Issues Paper is by no means exhaustive, and the Reference Group welcomes submissions that include additional information and views that are relevant to the development of future policy directions for the agriculture and food sector.
