The Committee will inquire into and report on country of origin food labelling. The inquiry will have particular regard to:
whether the current Country of Origin Labelling (CoOL for food) system provides enough information for Australian consumers to make informed purchasing decisions;
whether Australia's CoOL laws are being complied with and what, if any, are the practical limitations to compliance;
whether improvements could be made, including to simplify the current system and/or reduce the compliance burden; and
whether Australia's CoOL laws are being circumvented by staging imports through third countries; and .
the impact on Australia's international trade obligations of any proposed changes to Australia's CoOL laws.
