Law360 has published an article by Akin international trade partner Alan Yanovich, titled "Assessing The Significance Of Australia-EU's Free Trade Deal”. 

The article considers the free trade agreement between Australia and the European Union (EU), concluded on March 24 2026, and explores its potential implications as a springboard for a more ambitious initiative between the EU and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).

The piece examines the broader implications for global trade policy and international economic cooperation including the potential impact of closer CPTPP-EU alignment on supply chains, regulatory frameworks and geopolitical stability. Alan notes that “A combined EU-CTIPP trade bloc would represent 32% of global GDP, 37% of global trade in goods and services, and encompass over 1 billion consumers.”
