Summary

​This report builds on the review of Meat Standards Australia Australia (MSA) governance structures (B.SBP.0113). The results of the B.SBP.0113 project were presented to Pathways in December 2013 and considerable feedback was provided, which has been taken into account in this Report.
This report provides revised Terms of Reference (TOR) for key MSA governance committees, including Pathways, Beef Taskforce and the MSA Sheepmeat Working Group. Revised TOR's are provided for each of these committees under the existing (separate) MSA arrangements for beef and sheepmeat. They have also been drafted for MSA governance arrangements should it be decided that the scientific peer review process for beef and sheepmeat be merged at some stage in the future.
