free trade agreement

Australia's free trade deal with the EU has collapsed.

Australian correspondent Oliver Petersen says negotiations had been going on for five years, but the final deal wasn't good enough for either side.

He says it's to do with access - or lack thereof - that Australian beef producers can get to the EU.

"They didn't even get to the table to say- let's sign this off. What's going to happen here- we're going to just look at New Zealand's model and ask if we can do the same thing. But at this stage, no deal."

New Zealand signed its own Free Trade Agreement with the EU last year.

The Country's Jamie Mackay has given the Free Trade Agreement with the EU a middling mark.

The agreement will eventually remove tariffs on 97 percent of goods exported - including onions, manuka honey, kiwifruit and wine.

Jamie Mackay says it's not a flash agreement for meat and dairy farmers, as only small amounts can be exported before tariffs kick in.

The New Zealand-European Union free trade agreement includes 'unprecedented' climate commitments in the deal.

New Zealand will be required to follow conditions set out in the Paris climate agreement or potentially face punishment.

NZ International Business Forum executive director Stephen Jacobi says it's most unlikely that the climate requirements within the agreement will be enforced.

"The cost of not meeting our Paris commitments, for example, is quite high. Something between $3 billion to $25 billion. That is far greater than the value of our total exports to the EU."

The Finance Minister is defending the climate change component of New Zealand's free trade agreement with the European Union.

The free trade agreement will see tariffs eventually removed on 97 percent of our exports to the EU, including kiwifruit, Mānuka honey, fish, onions and wine.

Finance Minister Grant Robertson says the EU wanted climate change provisions in the agreement, and this will be good for New Zealand's reputation.

"This is something that not only I think we have to deal with, but it actually will be good for New Zealand."
