EEZ Bill Passes Into Law
The Exclusive Economic Zone and Continental Shelf (Environmental Effects) Bill passed its third reading by 72 to 49.
National, New Zealand First, ACT and United Future supported the bill.
Environment Ministers Amy Adams said the bill filled a legislative hole in New Zealand’s regulatory regime.
Labour’s
environment spokesman Moana Mackey said the bill did not
provide sufficient environmental protection, failed to fully
implement New Zealand’s international obligations and
would be opposed.
