While we believe the Government could have gone further in the UK-Australia FTA on standards, it has the opportunity, through the various forums created under the agreement, to continue to discuss environmental and animal welfare issues with Australia as part of its wider ambition of raising standards globally. The Government must produce a clear strategy for how it will use the forums created by the UK-Australia FTA to raise standards in the future. It should also set out how it will organise and resource the work of these committees to ensure they have sufficient senior buy-in on both sides to make further progress. Finally, it should set out what provision it will make for parliamentary scrutiny of the proposals of these committees. (Paragraph 81) Lessons for future trade deals
