    Statement summary

    Von der Leyen says the Australia trade agreement will benefit EU exporters and farmers

    Von der Leyen says the Australia trade agreement will benefit EU exporters and farmers.

    Source excerpt

    In less than two months, Europe added nearly two billion people to our free trade market. With agreements spanning 3 continents. From Latin America to India and now Australia. It’s a true trade trilogy. For EU businesses, this agreement will deliver immediate, tangible benefits. EU exporters, producers and farmers will save 1 billion euro in tariffs.

With the protection of geographical indications, for example. It’s a perfect balance.
