Trade and Tourism Minister Don Farrell outlines Australia’s “really good deal” with the UAE that benefits Australian farmers in a way a deal with the EU could not.

Australia has locked in a controversial new trade agreement with the UAE.

“Well, we remain open to have discussions with any country that would like to enter a free trade agreement with Australia,” Mr Farrell told Sky News Australia.

“The difficulty with the EU, and this is a problem they've had with every one of their agreements, is their farm sector.

“We were looking for a good deal for our farmers in the EU, the offer never came.

“Contrast that with what we've done with the UAE this week. We're getting all of our sheep meat, all of our beef, all of our agricultural products into the UAE, tariff free.”
