So what are the amendments? This is what we are seeking to apply, so what does the bill actually do? Well, section 388 of the Maritime Transport Act provides for the Minister of Transport to make marine protection rules for a number of purposes. Clause 10 of the bill empowers the Minister to make rules for the purpose of prescribing the "requirements, procedures, and standards relating to the prevention of air pollution from ships" for the purpose of implementing this annex. The Act also provides—in section 395; this is an interesting one, Madam Speaker—that the director of Maritime New Zealand may grant exemptions from the maritime protection rules; however, section 395(2) provides that the director "must not grant an exemption unless satisfied that—(a) granting the exemption will not breach New Zealand's obligations under any convention".
