The Prime Minister of Australia, The Hon Bob Hawke, and the.
Prime Minister of New Zealand, the Rt Hon Jim Bolger, today
jointly announced their Governments' agreement to an agenda
for the 1992 review of the CER Agreement.
On 5 July this year the Australian and New Zealand ministers
with responsibility for CER, the Hon heal Blewett and the
Hon Philip Burdon, announced that they would be recommending
to their respective Governments that they address a number
of practical issues with the aim of removing remaining
impediments to bilateral trade and of making it easier to do
business between the two countries.
These included: trans-Tasman shipping; specific taxation
arrangements which may be impeding bilateral trade and
investment; trade in services; further harmonisation of
business laws, standards and customs and quarantine
arrangements; and an examination of the mutual recognition
of professional and other qualifications.
Both Governments have now agreed to these items being on the
review agenda. The review will begin shortly.
