Australia To Discuss Trade Options With Pacific Islands,
by Mary Swire, Tax-News.com, Hong Kong
Wednesday, April 01, 2009
Australia's Minister for Trade, Simon Crean, and Parliamentary Secretary for
International Development Assistance, Bob McMullan, will visit Vanuatu, the
Solomon Islands, Samoa, Tonga and New Zealand from April 1-6, to consult with
their counterparts on a range of trade and development issues.
A key component of discussions will be the prospective PACER Plus agreement.
“Pacific Island Forum Leaders attach a great deal of importance to PACER
Plus, which will be a comprehensive trade and economic development agreement
between Pacific Forum Island countries and Australia and New Zealand,”
Mr Crean said.
“The more the Pacific nations are integrated with the region and with
the wider global community – and the freer the flow of goods, services
and investment within the Pacific – the better the prospect of genuine,
stable and long-term economic growth in Pacific communities," he continued,
adding further:
“PACER Plus will play a crucial role in promoting economic stability
and growth.”
“Australia is determined that PACER Plus will take account of the individual
circumstances of Pacific Island countries. I am looking forward to these consultations
which will deepen our understanding of the trade policy priorities of a number
of our neighbours in the Pacific region,” Crean finished.
Mr McMullan went on to remark:
“We are already assisting countries to improve their trade policies through
AusAID funding for training and independent analysis.”
“As PACER Plus progresses, we will help Pacific countries increase trade
by supporting trade facilitation programs and sectoral reforms that create jobs
and more secure livelihoods for their communities," he concluded.
In addition to discussing PACER Plus with ministerial counterparts, the New
Zealand leg of the visit will enable discussion of multilateral, regional and
bilateral trade priorities for both governments.
