SYDNEY (Reuters) – Australia Trade Minister Don Farrell said on Thursday he was hopeful of China removing trade impediments on imports of Australian rock lobster by Christmas.
China has lifted almost all trade restrictions imposed on Australia after Canberra called for an inquiry into the origins of COVID-19, due to a thawing in relations between the two countries, but barriers on lobster imports remain.
“I’m confident that based on all the discussions I’ve had … I’ve still got confidence this will happen,” Farrell said in an interview with Sky News, adding he expected restrictions to be lifted by Christmas.
