Australia’s trade deal with India, export of uranium not finalised
PM announces 12-month deadline for the new trade deal with India STEVEN SCOTT THE COURIER-MAIL NOVEMBER 19, 2014“………The Prime Minister backed India’s investment in coal in Queensland’s Galilee Basin and vowed to fast track the first sales of uranium to the world’s largest democracy in a drive to revive flagging ties between our two countries……..
” Mr Abbott said. “And if all goes to plan Australia will export uranium to India under suitable safeguards, of course, because cleaner energy is one of the most important contributions that Australia can make to the wider world.
“By the end of next year we will have a free trade deal with what is potentially the world’s largest market.”……..
Mr Modi said India wanted “energy that does not cause our glaciers to melt”, saying his country had a growing appetite for “clean coal and gas, renewable energy and fuel for nuclear power”………
Uranium sales have not yet taken place but Mr Abbott, who signed a safeguards agreement for the exports in New Delhi in September, said he wanted the trade to begin soon………http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/pm-announces-12month-deadline-for-the-new-trade-deal-with-india/story-fnn8dlfs-1227127565730
