I would like to see a video on the EU - Japanese trade deal !

[KingPingPod]

EUs trade agreement with Japan, please.

[puck]

I like this format and i would also like to se the brand new free trade agreement with Vietnam explained by you all ^^

[MrStephansucks]

One New Zealand's biggest export is dairy with out that included i can't see why we would bother.

[TheTrackRecord]

Would be great if you did an overview of all of the EUs trade deals globally as finding a definitive answer of how many they have is quite tricky.

[dracovenit]

The awkward part for NZ is that we already have free trade...we don't have quotas and tariffs on EU stuff. Or anything. I think we still trade with Iran and Russia lol. So all we have to give is good vibes. : )

[andrexavier]

I would like to see more content about the relation between the EU and Canada

[ksj]

I think an updated video of canada -eu comprehensive agreement is necessary, considering both brexit and the difficulties of how such legally binding agreement will be implemented in Canada, as Canada conventionally has very strong protectionism in both relegated professions and in each province (particularly due to Quebec sovereignty issues).

[puffin]

Or, to put it another way, the EU wants absolutely free access to Australian and NZ markets for everything, while retaining tariffs on anything it wants to call "sensitive". As we say in my country, sport, "Tell 'em they're dreaming."

[jebeer]

Right, .. the Netherlands with all their parliaments. Always troublesome ratifying those agreements. *Winks in Belgian*

[billiejack]

I'd like to see the differences between USMCA new NAFTA) and the trade deal between the EU and Mexico/Canada

[frostyguy]

New Zealand is trying to get free trade agreements with any country it can because it doesn't want to be dependent on China. The EU, the US, UK and India are where the push is strongest, though an FTA with the US won't happen anytime soon because of NZ's nuclear free policy.

[PhysicistGamer]

Would love to see Argentina's or Mercosur trade deals

[kfcddix]

So the EU wants to protect its food industries in fruits & vegetable production, ruminant meat, and dairy. That's basically NZ's entire export market (excluding tourism). That's roughly 47% of NZ's export products. How is NZ supposed to benefit from this agreement, especially since it seems the rest of the world is utterly incapable of stamping out (the disease) and tourism receipts are plummeting?
We're not a European colony anymore, they can't expect us to agree to such exploitative terms.

[Avacados-rwpb]

We would love to have trade with NZ and Australia 🇦🇺🇳🇿🤝🇮🇪🇪🇺

[Lord_Imrahil]

A video on EU-Switzerland would be interesting, not the trade deal, but the regulatory agreement that they are currently negotiating. It could show how Britain could come out of it if it wants a closer cooperation.

[colinmunro]

I’d like to see the EU trade deal with Canada covered.

[dogtheophilo]

Brazil & EU deal would be nice to know better

[manoo]

In view of the fact the UK is asking the EU for a Canada style agreement, that should be covered next!!

[mishapurser]

I'm British and as far as I'm concerned the UK can do one. So long as the other countries benefit from CANZAC at least as much as the UK, I'm in favour of it. And I hope Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand, and the EU can benefit from their deal equally.
