"Mr President, I also warmly welcome the Commission’s intention to open negotiations on these two free trade agreements. The Asia-Pacific region where, bear in mind, 90% of world growth is estimated to happen over the next decade, is vital for us and with their European heritage, their relative proximity to the Asian market and their membership of the TPP, Australia and New Zealand can be very important partners for us.
Given their experience in trade negotiations, these agreements have the potential to be exemplary. They can, for example, be very speedy and efficient, which is not something we can say about other trade negotiations. They have the potential to be of a very high quality with a strong, sustainable development chapter providing a template for the wider Asia-Pacific region and, given Australia’s experience in particular with investment, I think they should prove very sympathetic to tackling the flaws in the existing investor-state dispute system and that gives us an opportunity to have a high-quality investment chapter in this agreement. So for all these reasons, it is good that we are making progress with these two countries."@en1
