Thanks to the removal of nearly all customs duties, projections indicate a potential growth in European exports of up to 33% over the next ten years.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-74d628c689661dce80aefb952a9e03e2\"><strong>KEY SECTORS: AUTOMOTIVE AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>The automotive sector stands out among the most benefited industries. Australia has accepted European type-approval certificates and reduced the Luxury Car Tax for electric vehicles, raising the threshold to 120,000 AUD. This will support approximately 75% of European EV exports. Similarly, the mechanical engineering and machinery sectors will see a significant reduction in non-tariff barriers, simplifying access for industrial excellence.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-66d726e55d802ff5e7e3e647164746de\"><strong>ECONOMIC SECURITY AND RAW MATERIALS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>A crucial point concerns access to critical raw materials (lithium, manganese, aluminum).
