The European Union and Australia signed a free trade agreement to address the challenges of the global market and as a strategy against US tariffs.

With this agreement, “Brussels intensifies its market diversification after Trump’s tariffs and secures a key partner for obtaining critical raw materials” from Australia, such as lithium and manganese.

The document establishes some concessions regarding designations of origin, particularly for European emblems such as prosecco and feta cheese.

This is an effort by the EU to expand its trading partners, considering the “geopolitical tensions surrounding the Iran affair and after the United States shook up the global economic landscape with its indiscriminate tariffs.”

As expected, this agreement opens the door to tariff-free exports of most Australian products to the EU, and vice versa.

“EU calculations indicate that European exporters, producers, and farmers will save €1 billion in tariffs on EU sales valued at over €20 billion.”

Additionally, the EU signed another security and defense agreement, which will serve as a framework for “greater cooperation in the defense industry and Australia’s participation in the European Horizon science program.”
