21 June - ABCC Business Round Table Melbourne

On Friday 21 June the ABCC member Corrs Chambers Westgarth,  hosted the ABCC Business Round Table in the presence of Ambassador His Exc. Sergio Moreira Lima and and Honorary Consul of VIC Mr Roger Frankel.
We had the pleasure of having with us Pacific Hydro, Orica, Karoon Gas, WEG Motors, Carsales, IFM Investors, MinterEllison, Grupo Energia and Victorian Government representatives - from Invest Victoria, Global Victoria and the Office of the Treasurer, as well as a number of new Brazilian companies to the Australian market discussed their experiences and views on the Australia Brazil bilateral relationship. 

A strong consensus was built around defining a shared vision of that relationship and immediate,  practical measures that will make that vision a reality - including the recent abolition of visa requirements for Australians travelling to Brazil, progress on the double taxation agreement and the implementation of direct flights between Melbourne and São Paulo. 
​
The ABCC very much appreciates and thanks the Ambassador for his time and valuable contribution to the discussions.
