4675 (2026). Arena Williams to the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs: How is the new agreement on trans-Tasman standards announced on 9 February a "win" for New Zealand consumers?

Hon Scott Simpson: Greater use of trans-Tasman and international standards will help make the New Zealand market more desirable for overseas businesses to export into. Over time, consumers should see more choice, innovation and safer, higher-quality products and services through their alignment to internationally recognised standards here in New Zealand.
