‘Absolutely not correct’: Agriculture Minister slams EU over ‘disappointing’ claims

Agriculture Minister Murray Watt has hit back at the EU over their claims Australia re-tabled agricultural demands, which were not consistent with previous talks between officials.

“That’s absolutely not correct,” Mr Murray told Sky News Australia.

“It’s disappointing that the European Union would be putting that around.”

Mr Murray’s comments come after reports revealed trade talks stalled between the EU and Australia.

“The offer that Don Farrell had and put on the table is exactly what we’ve been flagging to the EU over the last three months,” he said.

“About three months ago, Don walked away – rightly – from the last round of negotiations because the deal that the EU was offering wasn’t good enough.”
