<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">DEFRA can offer support such as access to food and drink trade shows, in-store promotions, a chance to exhibit at trade shows and reduced fees on eCommerce marketplaces.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These exports will be conducted under </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/countries-and-regions/countries/australia/">EU-Australia Partnership Framework of October 2008</a>. This aims, apart from cooperation on the multilateral trade system and trade in services and investment issues, to facilitate trade in industrial products between the EU and Australia by reducing technical barriers, including conformity assessment procedures.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b>So even before an FTA the UK needs to replace existing EU-Australia/New Zealand agreements to ensure existing trade flows as at present.</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>As for <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/countries-and-regions/countries/new-zealand/">New Zealand</a> see below. Again even without an FTA, the EU supports UK food and drink exports to New Zealand in many ways.</b></span><br />

Since 1999 the EU and New Zealand have a bilateral agreement for mutual recognition that aims to facilitate trade in industrial products between the EU and New Zealand by reducing technical barriers, including assessment procedures. It covers medicine products and devices, telecommunication equipment, low voltage equipment, machinery and pressure equipment.</div>
