Dr GAURAV SHARMA (Labour—Hamilton West): Kia ora, Mr Speaker. It's my pleasure today to take a call on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) Legislation Bill, or, in short, the RCEP bill. While I'm not on the Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee, I've had a bit of experience working on a project related to the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement with Vietnam around exporting Vietnamese agriculture products to other countries. The RCEP bill is an omnibus bill that amends the Tariff Act 1988 and the Customs and Excise Act 2018 in order to give effect to the RCEP agreement, which New Zealand signed on 15 November 2020.
