The Shadow Minister for Trade, the Hon. Warren Truss, launched the Coalition Government’s Trade Policy themed – Restoring Support for Australian Exporters at an Australian Institute of Export (AIEx) breakfast this week in Brisbane.
The key announcement was the Coalition’s election promise to restore the $50 million funding shortfall to the Austrade administered Export Market Development Grant (EMDG) and restoring the EMDG cap to $200 million effective from 1 July 2011.
