Abstract
Given that services trade issues relating to commercial establishment are explicitly covered
in the European Union (EU) negotiating mandate with Australia, this chapter provides
an overview of two-way Australia-EU investment flows and policy irritants. This includes
an analysis of Australia’s Foreign Investment Review Board investment-screening threshold,
which is higher for the EU than for countries that already have preferential trade agreements
with Australia. The chapter also discusses the link between investment, economic growth and
future innovation
