Australia's agricultural demands' did not meet recent negotiations, EU spokesperson says

According to Politico, a spokesperson for the EU executive had this to say about the breakdown of free trade deal negotiations:

The European Commission regrets the lack of progress made during talks in Osaka today.

Our negotiating teams made good progress in recent weeks, including in the days leading up to the Osaka meeting. There was optimism that a deal was within reach.

My job as Australia's trade minister is to get the best deal that we can for our producers, our businesses, our workers and our consumers.

Unfortunately we've not been able to make progress.
