EU: No renegotiation of trade deal with Australia
European Commission trade spokesperson Olof Gill said on Tuesday that the European Union will not renegotiate its free trade agreement with Australia. The agreement was concluded in March, and Gill ruled out reopening the talks. He described the negotiation as closed, meaning the EU regards the March terms as settled under its current policy. The European Union is therefore not entering another formal round of negotiations with Canberra. The statement did not identify any specific Australian request to change the agreement. It also announced no joint review, new negotiating timetable or planned revisions to the deal.
