New Zealand's parliament on Wednesday passed legislation to implement a free trade agreement with India, under which tariffs on about 95% of New Zealand exports to India would be eliminated or significantly reduced. The legislation passed by a vote of 93-29, with support from the opposition Labour Party. More than half of all products covered would become duty-free from the day it takes effect. "For exporters, the benefits are immediate and substantial," New Zealand Trade Minister Todd McClay said in a statement.
