Trade Minister Simon Birmingham says the federal government will seek a free-trade agreement with the European Union that is in Australia’s best interests overall. The EU’s ambassador to Australia, Michael Pulch, has indicated that Australia’s climate change policies will not affect negotiations for a free-trade deal. Paris Agreement signatories will review their carbon emissions reduction commitments in 2023, and Pulch hopes Australia will use this opportunity to increase its reduction targets.
