Silence on TPP deafening for exporters

Dec 19, 2017  -  The Minister for Trade and Export Growth needs to put New Zealand exporters ahead of coalition politics and get the TPP deal done, National Party Trade Spokesperson Todd McClay says.  “The Trade Minister’s statement following last week’s WTO Ministerial Conference reveals more for what it doesn’t say and demonstrates rising trade tensions within the Government.

“Today’s statement was completely silent on the TPP, showing that Labour are starting to bow to pressure from their junior Coalition partner - New Zealand First.

“New Zealand First, Labour and the Greens have all previously voted against TPP legislation. The revised TPP very closely mirrors the original agreement signed in Auckland last year and includes an investor-state dispute mechanism, a provision that the Greens and New Zealand First have previously protested against.

“It is clear that New Zealand First’s ongoing opposition to the TPP is jeopardising the process.

“The lack of information or progress on this is especially concerning given that all of the TPP Ministers attended the WTO conference.

“National has guaranteed its parliamentary support for a revised TPP. The Government must make this agreement its number one trade priority.

“It is time for the Labour Government to step up and deliver for New Zealanders. They are at risk of squandering the opportunity to secure a fairer deal for kiwi exporters because of coalition politics.”
