The wheels are in motion for a free trade deal between New Zealand and the European Union.
If an agreement is signed off, which could be a couple years away, it could inject a billion dollars into our economy.
Official talks will begin next month and there will be a lot to agree on before it gets the green light.
European Ambassador to New Zealand Bernard Savage told Chris Lynch says the EU is looking to negotiate with many like minded partners.
He says that they are looking for a 'win-win' deal that benefits everyone.
"I don't think anybody is looking for a rushed deal, we want a good deal as quickly as possible."
