SYDNEY (Reuters) – Australia and the European Union will resume free trade talks on Thursday with a teleconference between Australia’s Trade Minister Don Farrell and EU Commissioner for Trade Valdis Dombrovskis, a month after the two sides failed to reach a deal. <\/p>\n

Differences over access for Australian agricultural products, particularly beef, to EU markets saw Australia walk away from signing an agreement in Europe in July.<\/p>\n

Australia is keen to have wider access for its beef, lamb, dairy products and wines, much of which are subject to tariffs and quotas.<\/p>\n

Both sides are looking to diversify trade, with EU flows affected by the Russia and Ukraine war and Australian exports hurt after major trading partner China imposed blocks on a raft of farm products in a 2020 political dispute.<\/p>\n

Farrell said in an interview with Reuters last week that he hoped for an improved EU offer when he next speaks with Dombrovskis, whom he has invited to visit Australia. A source familiar with the matter said the teleconference would take place on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Farrell also said a free trade agreement would simplify European investment in Australia’s burgeoning critical minerals sector, in part by smoothing access through mandatory Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) screening.<\/p>\n

Australia supplies around half of the world’s lithium, as well as other minerals such as rare earths used in batteries for electric cars and defence, amid a global push to diversify supply chains away from dominant producer China.<\/p>\n

“We want European investment … but they’ve got to understand that as part of that process they’ve got to make a realistic offer,” he said.<\/p>\n

The EU and Australia opened negotiations in 2018. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
