Invitation to participate in survey about using Australia's Free Trade Agreements (NNF 2017/108)

While it is noted that the survey does not relate to service providers, to importers or exporters, or others in international trade logistics and supply chain management, members should perhaps on send the survey to their clients who are users of Free Trade Agreement outcomes.

Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) make Australia more competitive in international trade.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Australia (PwC), with ITS Global, is undertaking an independent study of FTA utilisation for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). Please find attached a copy of DFAT’s letter of introduction for further information.

The Study will analyse FTA utilisation and the broader impact of FTAs on Australian business activity and will make recommendations to support FTA policy, implementation and advocacy.  The research covers all of Australia’s FTAs, with an emphasis on the most recent agreements with China, Japan and the Republic of Korea.
