       @EUCommission But this can't be right because our politicians said the "nasty EU" wouldn't let the UK trade with the Commonwealth.....so we had to have the utterly destructive suicide mission called Brexit.......it couldn't be these politicians were lying for their own ends could it?

       @EUCommission Is this still part of the trade deal?"Australians may be able to live and work freely in the EU under a two-way mobility scheme put forward by Brussels. The same options would be open to EU citizens looking to move to Australia.NewsWire understands the scheme was offered as a “sweetener” to get Canberra over the line on an elusive free-trade deal."https://www.news.com.au/finance/economy/australian-economy/labor-could-sell-out-farmers-for-eu-trade-deal-opposition-claims/news-story/d773830e1e2d439117ef4179e70f605b

       @EUCommission Yeah, the farmers are delighted, and so are the ecologists. The planet needs people eating less beef and lamb/mutton, not more.

       @EUCommission This is good news. Tho not perfect, as it's focused on the utility of people as objecfs rather than allowing people to move between the two states freely as humans, regardless of profession.

       @EUCommission Yeah, one of our biggest trade partners went completely bonkers. You know them, so I don't think I need to name them. We'd be glad to work together with you guys. I'm happy we found some common ground and a mutually beneficial agreement.

       @EUCommission what does the 'research' side of the agreement entail? Will Australia join the Horizon Europe research framework?

       Hello @severin! The Free Trade Agreement between Australia and the EU at this point will make it easier for researchers to move between the two continents. For the future, the parties have also agreed to launch formal negotiations for the association of Australia to Horizon Europe. You can learn more here: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_645

       @EUCommission Speaking as an Australian, I'm delighted!  As a "middle power" the more we move away from alignment with the US, and towards alignment with the EU, the better.

       @EUCommission I hope you will not sign the US trade deal. It is nothing but bad news for Europe. Better times and a better deal will come, if we stand strong now.
