Introduction: Australian agriculture minister TRAS announced during Japan's participation in the "five party meeting of agriculture ministers" that he has reached an agreement with Japan's agriculture minister and obtained the other party's assurance that Japan will fully negotiate with Australia before considering the launch of safeguard measures for beef exports to Australia According to the agreement between Australia and Japan, if Japan imports more beef from Australia than 117% in the previous year, Japan's beef import tariff will be increased from the current 38.5% to 50% At present, Australia's beef export to Japan is facing the possibility of being initiated by Japan's safeguard measures The main reason is that after Japan's "mad cow disease" in 2001, the market demand for beef decreased sharply, and Australia's export fell sharply Now, the confidence of Japanese market in beef consumption is gradually recovering, and the continuous growth of import volume may lead to the import of this year exceeding the limit of 117% on the basis of last year's lower trade level, thus triggering Japan to take safeguard measures Australian and Japanese agriculture ministers agreed that Japan would notify the Australian government in advance before taking safeguard measures The Japanese government said it would take a cautious attitude towards the start of safeguard measures (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
