Australia Chile free Trade AgreementFebruary 2009 Australia and Chile signed a free trade agreement, FTA, which will come into force on 6 March 2009. The minister for trade, Simon Crean welcomed the agreement, declaring that it is the most comprehensive outcome on goods in any FTA that Australia has negotiated with another agricultural producing country since the Closer Economic Relations agreement with New Zealand signed in 1983. The agreement immediately removes Chile's tariffs on almost 92% of tariff lines, covering 97% of goods currently traded. This includes Australian coal, meat, wine, dairy exports and other industrial goods. Tariffs on all existing merchandise trade will be eliminated by 2015.
