Australian, Tongan and Fijian opponents to a new Pacific trade agreement will give evidence at a parliamentary hearing tomorrow.
Witnesses from the Pacific Network on Globalisation (PANG) and Public Services International will provide evidence at the hearing, part of an inquiry into the Pacific Agreement on Closer Economic Relations Plus (PACER Plus).
Chair of the Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee’s Sub-Committee on Trade, Dr John McVeigh, says the hearing is an important opportunity for the Sub-Committee to hear all views on Pacific trade.
PACER Plus is an agreement yet to be ratified with 13 other members of Pacific Islands Forum that it is hoped will encourage a stronger regional trading system between Pacific island countries.
