A scathing 42-page assessment of the agreement by Ngā Toki Whakarururanga (NTW), an entity that monitors government trade moves to protect Māori interests, says there are "minimal tangible gains for Māori exporters" and "no realistic gains" for non-exporting pakihi, kaimahi or wāhine Māori’.

The Crown was encouraged into cooperating with NTW following 2021’s Wai 2522 Waitangi Tribunal Inquiry into the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), to the point where issues were discussed before today’s announcement.

“We acknowledge that the Crown has sought to improve its processes and to strengthen Tiriti protections in this FTA, where the EU would agree,” the group says.

“Overall, however, the NZ EU FTA does not advance the range of rights, interests, duties, and responsibilities of Māori in a Te Tiriti compliant manner and offers minimal, if any, concrete economic benefits to Māori businesses and workers.” https://www.teaomaori.news/minimal-no-benefit-maori-new-eu-fta-watchdog via @maoritv #nzlaw #nzpol #trade #IndigenousIP
