Post-Brexit Australia-UK Trade Deal to Wait Until UK-EU Deal
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The European Union has no problems with the potential Australia-UK free trade agreement (FTA) that can be reached after Britain leaves the bloc, Chair of the European Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs Elmar Brok said Thursday.

"If Britain is totally third country then it is normal that Australia and Great Britain negotiate a free trade agreement or something like that what they want but it is not up to us," Brok told journalists.

On Wednesday, the two countries announced the establishment of a bilateral Trade Working Group following talks in London between Australian Trade Minister Steve Ciobo and UK Secretary of State for International Trade Liam Fox.

According to the Australian minister, the country will wait for the United Kingdom to negotiate a post-Brexit trade deal with the European Union before holding formal negotiations on any trade agreement with London.
