Today the Australian Government was notified that from tomorrow, China will remove the 80.5 per cent anti-dumping and countervailing duties on Australian barley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We welcome this outcome, which paves the way for our barley exporters to re-enter the Chinese market \u2013 benefiting Australian producers and Chinese consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It affirms the calm and consistent approach that the Albanese Government has taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since May 2020, China\u2019s duties on Australian barley have effectively blocked exports to that market, worth about $916 million in 2018-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The removal of duties is the result of work by government and industry to resolve this matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We acknowledge and thank industry and affected businesses for their support and patience throughout the World Trade Organization (WTO) process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In April this year, Australia announced a pathway agreed with China to temporarily suspend our WTO dispute while China conducted an expedited review of the measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The removal of these duties means that Australia will now discontinue legal proceedings at the WTO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This outcome demonstrates the importance of the WTO dispute mechanism in defending the interests of Australia\u2019s world-class producers and farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have been clear that we expect a similar process to be followed to remove the duties on Australian wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the meantime, we are continuing to pursue our wine dispute at the WTO and remain confident in a positive outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Australian Government\u2019s approach has been to cooperate with China where we can, disagree where we must and engage in our national interest. The outcome on barley reflects that approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will continue to press for all trade impediments affecting Australian exports to be removed, which is in the interests of both Australia and China. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
