Canada Lifts Certain Restrictions on Australian Wine Imports

Australia and Canada reach a settlement over a World Trade Organization dispute that will remove “discriminatory” Canadian measures against imports of Australian wine, Australia said April 22. Australia said Quebec will begin a phased removal remove of trade barriers that were “longstanding concerns” of the Australian wine industry, which will now be allowed to “fairly compete for Canadian customers,” said Dan Tehan, Australia’s trade, tourism and investment minister. Canada lifted restrictions last year on Australian wine imports entering Ontario and Nova Scotia (see 2007270018).
