EU-Australia FTA
Invitation Oct. 17th The EU-Australia FTA:
Can the EU still do trade deals? The controversy over TTIP and CETA has led many to question whether the EU is still capable of negotiating and ratifying trade deals with third countries. There is a general trend against globalisation manifested by the rise in populist political parties across Europe and elsewhere. In these circumstances what are the chances of a successful free trade agreement with Australia? What are the priorities and what advantages would it bring to both sides? How would Brexit affect the negotiations?
To discuss these and other questions you are invited to a panel discussion
from 1800-1930 on 17 October at the Press Club, 95 Rue Froissart, 1040 Brussels.
There will be a wine and cheese reception following the panel discussion.
