Recommendation on the proposed negotiating mandate for trade negotiations with New Zealand

This procedure involves a recommendation to the EU Council regarding the framework and goals for negotiating a new trade agreement with New Zealand. It aims to establish a mandate that ensures the trade deal promotes sustainable development, fair competition, and strong economic ties.

The agreement will primarily affect exporters and importers of goods and services between the EU and New Zealand, potentially reducing tariffs and removing trade barriers for businesses in both regions.
