EU-Australia trade talks kick off in Brussels next month
By EUobserver
EU trade commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom met Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull in Canberra on Monday to officially launch negotiations on a free trade deal, with the first round of negotiations to be held in Brussels in early July. The two traded goods worth €48bn and services worth €27bn last year. It "would benefit small & large companies on both sides, creating jobs & growth," tweeted Malmstrom.
