EU and New Zealand strike trade deal that puts UK FTA ‘to shame’

2023-11-28

The European Union has completed political procedures ratifying an ambitious free trade agreement (FTA) with New Zealand that puts the UK’s deal “to shame”, according to Mike Galsworthy.

The deal is expected to cut some €140 million a year in duties for EU companies, and would have cut British firms in too had we still been part of the bloc.

As a result, bilateral trade is expected to grow by up to 30 per cent within a decade, with EU exports growing by up to €4.5 billion annually.

EU investment into New Zealand is expected to grow by up to 80 per cent, in turn.

Commenting on the deal, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, said: “New Zealand is a key partner for us in the Indo-Pacific region, and this ambitious free trade agreement will bring us even closer together.

Indeed. And linking to these sites is really bad for our SEO.

Anyway, population news should go in Society & Demographics.
