The select committee's report highlights that unlike previous free-trade agreements, the obligations required in RCEP have predominantly already been met through New Zealand's existing legal frameworks and policy regimes. None the less, in order for New Zealand to ratify RCEP and comply with our obligations under it, the RCEP bill makes a small number of technical, legislative, and regulatory amendments. Other matters were also raised during the select committee stage, and I will address some of these points throughout my speech.
