EU-Australia Trade Deal Sets Beef Import Quota at 30,600 Tonnes
The EU and Australia have agreed terms on beef access as part of their new free trade agreement, setting a tariff rate quota of 30,600 tonnes carcase weight equivalent.
The figure represents a compromise between negotiating positions, falling short of Australia’s request for 40,000 tonnes but exceeding the EU’s initial offer.
When combined with an existing sub-quota of 4,400 tonnes, total Australian beef access to the EU market will reach 35,000 tonnes.
The agreement is expected to increase competitive pressure within the EU beef market, particularly for imported product targeting price-sensitive segments.
