New Zealand and the EU's Free Trade Agreement (FTA) became effective, benefiting Kiwi exporters with $100 million in annual tariff savings on 91% of New Zealand's goods exports to the EU, expected to rise to 97% after seven years. The agreement includes provisions for indigenous trade opportunities, environmental protection, and a commitment to the Paris Agreement on climate change.
