As the EU already has subsidies on most agricultural products it may be better to impose an import tax on those products that Australian producers are no longer able to name. The tax could then be used to advertise local cheeses olives etc
The EU has hidden behind tariffs for tool long while our previous governments have cut our tariffs so we have no bargaining power left.
