New Zealand's new Free Trade Agreement with the European Union isn't perfect, but it may be the best we're ever going to get.
The 27-country bloc has agreed to remove tariffs on most New Zealand goods.But the dairy and red meat sectors will still face tariffs, and much lower quotas than they'd hoping for.

The Herald's Thomas Coughlan is travelling with O'Connor and the PM.
He told Kate Hawkesby even if the deal gets all the necessary approvals, it won't be fully implemented for another 13 years.
