Recommendation to the Council on the proposed negotiating mandate for trade negotiations with Australia

This own-initiative dossier is a recommendation on the proposed negotiating mandate for trade negotiations with Australia. Amendments treat sensitive agricultural products such as beef, lamb, dairy, cereals and sugar, tariff quotas, and the effect of Brexit on the EU market. They debate concluding a high-quality free trade agreement in a spirit of reciprocity, the exclusion of investment protection and transparency, while some amendments reject the agreement.
