jpclark14 #TPPA :Aso skeptical about early resolution of Japan-U.S. TPP talks - 毎日新聞 mainichi.jp/english/englis…
Excellent @CatoInstitute summary of ‘crumbling’ Obama trade agenda. Does lowball AU-JPN #FTA reflect the same calculus: #TPP going nowhere?
The AU-JPN #FTA looks like a template to the two high-farm-protection #TPP members. This can’t be good::japantimes.co.jp/news/2014/04/2…
FDI ‘review’ powers are wrong in so many ways. AU is ruled by laws, open tribunals, not scandal & ministerial favour::theaustralian.com.au/business/grain…
This @rodrikdani argument overvalues the counterfactual. Consider the welfare, growth costs of autarky for the poor ::rodrik.typepad.com/dani_rodriks_w…
Abbott, Robb will need to explain how AU found itself on the wrong side of US efforts to open JPN’s market::japantimes.co.jp/news/2014/04/2…

Wow! 7d (mice) protection fm H1N1 “Prevention of influenza by targeting host receptors using engineered proteins”::pnas.org/content/early/…
@B_C_A call for higher FDI thresholds good but a bit timid, unspecific. What about freeing up farm labor imports too? bca.com.au/publications/s…
The AU-JPN #FTA still looks poorly timed. Was Robb talking to Froman about #TPP strategy? Did JPN sucker-punch us? reut.rs/1jReax4

There cd. hardly be a worse time to do a “better than nothing” deal with JPN. @WSJ editorial is close to the mark::online.wsj.com/news/articles/…

sdonnan ICYMI - US doesn’t like Japan-Australia #trade deal. My story for @FT on.ft.com/1e7FXu4 #TPP
How is AU-JPN FTA a big deal? Few details on services. Ag. deal is modest. FDI threshold low. Preferences ephemeral::pm.gov.au/sites/default/…
AU-JPN FTA cuts beef tariff from astronomical to pinnacle. Safeguard still stand? If triggered wd. wipe out the cut. trademinister.gov.au/releases/Pages…
sdonnan So US pork producers are pretty clear about what they want from #TPP. And it ain’t what Australia got… nppc.org/2014/04/japan-… #trade
Liberalization of Japan agriculture market or just tariff-quota tinkering? It makes a difference to #TPP prospects::theaustralian.com.au/national-affai…
