		<description><![CDATA[The Australian Government is modifying the EMDG scheme after deciding to slash $25m of funding allocation per year for the next 4 years due to the recent budget cuts.
Exporters to the established markets of the United States, Canada and the European Union, including the United Kingdom, will have their entitlements reduced to a maximum of five grants, instead of the current seven from grant year 2013-2014.
On a more positive note, beginning in the grant year 2013-2014, exporters to East Asian, emerging and frontier markets will be entitled to claim a maximum of eight annual grants, up from the current limit of seven. This will help Australian exporters maximise the potential of markets which are growing strongly and where it is well recognised that it often takes more time to establish and achieve success.]]></description>
