Recommendation 2
2
Utilise trade dialogues in Asia to reduce tariffs, regulatory uncertainty, and enhance intellectual property protection.
Recommendation
The Government should use its full network of trade dialogues in Asia to push for real, commercially meaningful outcomes to drive down tariffs, remove regulatory uncertainty and improve intellectual property protection. In particular, the Department should explore wider use of ‘between the meeting’ task and finish groups that include the private sector to identify problems that hamper exports and develop solutions more rapidly. (Recommendation, Paragraph 25) Opportunities for trade with Asia-Pacific
