Little progress on dairy, autos in Atlanta TPP trade talks - NZ official

WELLINGTON, Sept 30 (Reuters) - A New Zealand trade official
said that the Trans Pacific Partnership talks had made no
progress on key areas such as dairy and automobiles and that
officials were waiting for trade ministers to take the
negotiations forward, media reported on Wednesday.
"There's still some work to do in automobiles, biologics and
IP, and around dairy obviously in New Zealand's case,"
agricultural trade envoy Mike Petersen told Radio New Zealand.
"We need ministers to make the hard calls on those areas,
and we're hopeful they can do so over the next couple of days."
Trade ministers from the 12 countries negotiating the
Trans-Pacific Partnership are due to meet in Atlanta on
Wednesday and are on the cusp of sealing the biggest trade deal
in a generation, cutting trade barriers and setting common
standards for 40 percent of the world economy.
New Zealand, the world's largest exporter of dairy, is
negotiating for improved access for its dairy exports to
countries such as the U.S., Canada and Japan.
Trade Minister Tim Groser told media last week that the deal
at that time was "inadequate" for New Zealand's access to dairy
markets.
