EU-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement Receives Final Approval

in Global Trade, Trade Agreements

The European Union (EU) has granted its final approval for the free trade agreement with New Zealand. This bilateral trade deal is poised to significantly boost trade volumes, potentially leading to a 30% increase in trade between the two parties. EU exports could surge by up to €4.5 billion annually, and EU investment in New Zealand has the potential to grow by up to 80%. Additionally, EU companies stand to benefit from a reduction of approximately €140 million in duties within the first year of the agreement’s implementation.

Key aspects of the agreement include:

  1. Tariff Elimination: Tariffs on essential EU exports to New Zealand, such as pigmeat, wine, sparkling wine, chocolate, sugar confectionery, and biscuits, will be eliminated.
  2. Services Market Access: New Zealand’s services market will be opened up in sectors such as financial services, telecommunications, maritime transport, and delivery services.
  3. Investor Protections: The agreement ensures non-discriminatory treatment for EU investors in New Zealand and vice versa.
  4. Government Procurement: Improved access for EU companies to New Zealand government procurement contracts for goods, services, works, and works concessions.
  5. Protection of EU Products: Nearly 2000 EU wines and spirits, along with 163 renowned traditional EU products (Geographical Indications), will receive protection.
  6. Digital Trade: The agreement facilitates data flows, establishes clear rules for digital trade, and enhances online security for consumers.
  7. Data Protection: It prevents unjustified data localization requirements and maintains high standards of personal data protection.
  8. Support for Small Businesses: A dedicated chapter on small and medium enterprises aims to assist them in expanding their exports.
  9. Streamlined Trade Procedures: Reduced compliance requirements and procedures to expedite the flow of goods.
  10. Intellectual Property: The agreement protects and enforces intellectual property rights, aligning them with EU standards, as per New Zealand’s commitments.

This EU-NZ Free Trade Agreement is distinctive for its full integration of the EU’s new approach to trade and sustainable development (TSD), incorporating elements such as sustainable food systems, gender equality in trade, and fossil fuel subsidies reform. Additionally, it promotes green goods and services and outlines sanctions in case of significant violations of core labor principles or the Paris Agreement.

Background and Next Steps:

Negotiations for the trade agreement concluded on June 30, 2022, and it was officially signed on July 9, 2023. The European Parliament granted its consent on November 22, 2023, in line with legal procedures.

Once ratified by New Zealand and both sides confirm the completion of their internal processes, the agreement will come into effect. The effective date will be either the first day of the second month after meeting these requirements or a mutually agreed alternative date.
