"For New Zealand, this is a great opportunity. As a small, free-trading nation, New Zealand has expertise in negotiating trade deals such as the free trade agreements with China, Hong Kong and South Korea. "The New Zealand Government should make this expertise available to the UK government and work constructively towards a New Zealand-United Kingdom free trade agreement. If such a deal includes Australia, it would be even better,"

New Zealand First leader Winston Peters is calling for a free trade agreement among Commonwealth countries, and wants to use New Zealand's CER agreement with Australia as a template.
He said a British exit from the EU could offer such an opportunity and could "heal a rift" with New Zealand that occurred when Britain became a member of European Economic Community in 1973.
"New Zealand First believes our oldest and most successful trade agreement with Australia, CER, provides the ideal template for Closer Commonwealth Economic Relations, or CCER.
He said it could become a model for a high quality future agreement not just with Britain but Canada, South Africa and India.

New Zealand needs to "milk Brexit for all it's worth'', Federated Farmers says. The rural lobby organisation has urged diplomats and export companies to be "quick off the block and first in line'' to push New Zealand's agenda.
New Zealand primary exports to Britain were at 3%, with 11% going to Europe. When Britain entered the EU 43 years ago, it was the recipient of 40% of exports. Prior to that, in the 1950s, more than 80% of New Zealand exports went to Britain.
