The aim of this conference will be to examine how domestic regulation in both Australia and the EU impacts on bilateral trade and investment flows. The conference will consider how increased cooperation and deeper integration could minimise the external impact of domestic regulation and provide new impetus to the trade and business relationship. The conference will also examine the opportunities for increased cooperation between Australia and the EU in issues relating to trade and the environment and opportunities for resolving or avoiding trade disputes at an early stage.

The conference is taking place as part of the work associated with an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Grant which the National Europe Centre (NEC) obtained to research the changing trade and business relationship between Australia and the EU. The linkage partners in this research project are; the Delegation of the European Commission to Australia and New Zealand, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and the European Australian Business Council.
