The mining sector represents 10% of GDP; the "mining-‐related economy" represents 9% of GDP – the total mining sector is 19% of GDP. –  Economic growth is largely dependent on the mining sector and agricultural sector with the products to be exported mainly to the East Asian market. –  OECD has predicted economic output is projected to increase by 2½ per cent in 2014 and by nearly 3% in 2015 –  Reserve Bank of Australia over 2014/15, GDP growth is expected to be a bit below trend at close to 2¾ per cent Australia has: –  Has a strong and robust and safe regulatory environment (e.g. corrup4on) –  Economic and banking ins4tu4ons –  Public sector ﬁnances –  Easy access to markets and should not be viewed as a burden but rather as an opportunity and safe. –  Strict quaran4ne and custom laws. However, these laws are procedural based and easy to follow and comply with. –  Easy access air and sea ports (eﬃcient and eﬀec4ve) Air cargo cost have been declining for some 4me and is expected to become more compe44ve. Thus, Australia can be only 24 hours way by air rather than a month or more by ship. –  Easy access to markets and business opportuni4es for Slovenia and Slovenes in Asia. Asian growth has been steady now for some years and is expected to con4nue for the next decade and beyond (Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia and now the opening up of Burma) Major Industry • 
Mining –  Coal is mined primarily in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. 54% of the coal mined in Australia is exported, mostly to East Asia. Coal provides about 85% of Australia's electricity produc4on. –  Australia's Argyle mine is the second largest diamond mine in the world es4mated to produce 12.6 million carats in 2014, worth over $500 million. • 
Manufacturing –  The manufacturing industry in Australia has declined from 30% of GDP in the 1960s to 12% of GDP in 2007. E.G. Melbourne Airport is being expanded due to the expected growth in air travel over the next 30 years. • 
Agriculture and Food (Forestry and Fisheries -‐ Equipment and Value Adding) –  Agriculture contributes 3% of Australia's GDP at the farm gate and when value-‐added processing beyond the farm is included this ﬁgure rises to 12%. • 
• 
Services –  IT related jobs (such as computer system design and engineering) are deﬁned as Professional, Scien4ﬁc and Technical Services by the Department of Educa4on, Employment and Workplace Rela4ons of Australia. IT job crea4on occurs mostly in the state capital ci4es of Australia. Financial services Educa:on –  In 2010–11, there were 250,000 student visa applica4ons granted. one ﬁoh of all student visa applica4ons lodged and granted were from China (18% and 20% respec4vely), followed by India (14% and 12% respec4vely) and South Korea (both 5%). –  In 2010, there were 470,000 interna4onal students studying in Australia Educa4on Con4nued Size of exports -‐ an Example • 
Interna4onal educa4on ac4vity (b) contributed $16.3 billion in export income to the Australian economy in 2010-‐11. • 
Of the total export income generated by educa4on services, $15.8 billion was from spending on fees and goods and services by onshore students and a further $595 million was earned through oﬀshore and other educa4onal ac4vi4es. • 
Educa4on services is Australia’s largest services export industry ahead of other personal travel services ($11.9 billion). Future areas of the economy • 
Deloiqe’s have recently stated the following growth areas of the Australian economy
Future Investment Con4nued • 
Health (medical research and equipment including pharmaceu4cals) • 
Developing new ways of ﬁnancing the future (with home-‐grown demand for innova4ve products to assist with the challenges of an ageing popula4on with a huge asset base) • 
Private schooling (birth rates have jumped, while parents are keen to get what they see as the best educa4on for their kids) • 
Gas transport: Australia has heaps to do to bring its gas poten4al to frui4on, and that will open huge opportuni4es for our transport and construc4on sectors • 
ICT (Informa4on and Communica4on Technology) will be a gateway for our growth sectors, enabling everything from water-‐saving sensor systems and disease-‐resistant crops on our farms, to robots and automated systems in mining, to the likes of ICT-‐enabled lower-‐cost advice models in wealth management • 
Australia’s strong Finance sector • 
Food processing European Australian Business Council (EABC) –  The European Union has been one of Australia’s largest economic partner for more than 25 years –  At the end of 2009, EU Foreign direct investment in Australia totalled $146.6 billion -‐ approximately 34% of total foreign direct investment. • 
Development coopera4on between Australia and the EU is currently enabled under the Australia – European Union (EU) Partnership Framework of 2008. The 2008 Framework is due to be replaced by a treaty-‐level Framework Agreement. • 
The development rela4onship between Australia and the EU is strongest in Indonesia, where we are both major contributors to the Educa4on Sector Support Program (ESSP). ESSP supports Indonesia’s move towards universal educa4on and is worth approximately $1 billion over ﬁve years. • 
The EU provides signiﬁcant development assistance to the Paciﬁc. We work together on Paciﬁc regional ini4a4ves and in Fiji, Samoa, Solomon Islands and Timor Leste. • 
The Framework also extends to trade and investment under mutual arrangements. • 
There is no Free Trade Agreement between the EU and Australia. EABC-‐Cont To assist in this trade the EABC play a major role. The EABC is: – 
one of the premier and most eﬀec4ve corporate forums in Australia and does not does not provide funding to organisa4ons or country business councils. – 
enables business leaders to engage in high-‐level dialogue on economic and public policy issues with Australian and European poli4cal leaders, senior oﬃcials, diplomats and business delega4ons • 
EABC’s programme of events is designed speciﬁcally for Members to engage in high-‐level discussion with Australian and European leaders to discuss economic and public-‐policy issues and developments reﬂec4ng the size, signiﬁcance and dynamics of the Australia-‐Europe trade, commerce and investment rela4onship. • 
Most events are restricted to EABC Members only, and include a series of regular forums held in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra. • 
EABC works closely with the Australian Department of Foreign Aﬀairs and Trade and the Delega4on of the European Union to Australia, and EU Member State Embassies. This will include Slovenia. • 
Recently the EABC has assisted (in an advisory role) in the crea4on of the new Hellenic Australian business council in Athens. EABC -‐ Cont • 
Membership can be acquired under two categories: –  One is for corporates – our members there are generally ‘ins4tu4onal’ companies – very large and they make a large ﬁnancial contribu4on to be members of EABC – our Major Partner pay $50K per annum – (do not have SME members as this is the area of most focus for bilateral chambers of commerce, thus SME enterprises in Slovenia encouraged to go through second op4on) –  The second stream includes bilateral Chambers of Commerce and industry groups (not for proﬁt), and also Australian and European government agencies – Embassies, Consulates and Trade Commissions (at present no Slovenian representa4ves) • 
EABC hosts 2-‐3 mee4ngs a year of the bilateral chambers and about the same number of events where these representa4ves aqend (at no charge). •

Opportuni:es in Asia Australia is strategically placed in Asia and could assist Slovene companies (partnerships) and business access to Asian markets. Asia’s rise is changing the world. –

Within only a few years, Asia will not only be the world’s largest producer of goods and services, it will also be the world’s largest consumer of them. It is already the most populous region in the world. In the future, it will also be home to the majority of the world’s middle class. Between 2000 and 2006, around a million people were lioed out of poverty every week in East Asia alone (Gill & Kharas 2007). Japan, the Republic of Korea (South Korea), Singapore and, more recently, China and India doubled their income perperson within a decade. It took the United Kingdom over 50 years to double its income per person during the epoch-‐deﬁning Industrial Revolu4on (Maddison 2010). Crea4ng a large middle class of consumers.

Slovenes and Slovenia should also look for broader opportuni:es in the Asia (ASEAN) Region. Bilateral Arrangements with Slovenia and EU Health Care •  Slovenia and Australia has established an agreement for medical protec4on should they be injured in either state. The agreement only relate to ci4zens of Slovenia and Australia when present in either state. For instance, a Slovene ci4zen (Y) travelling to Australia under a 405 or 410 re4rement visa, is en4tled to be covered by health insurance and reside in Australia for more than six (6) months in a twelve (12) month period. This extends to free treatment as a public pa4ent in a public hospital; subsidised medica4on; and out of hospital treatment. However, Y must have health insurance in Slovenia. Social Security •  Australia and Slovenia have established an interna4onal social security agreement. For these arrangements to be eﬀec4ve individuals must be ci4zens of either state, provided they have been resident in either territory. For instance, Y having dual ci4zenship and has worked in Australia for thirty years is able to claim an age or disability pension. These reciprocal arrangements, in accordance with the Social Security Act, enable a Slovene ci4zen to receive those payments in Australia. Tax •  Australia has not established a double tax trea4es with Slovenia, although trea4es have been established with its neighbours Austria, Italy and Hungary. Therefore, further work should be undertaken by both states to enhance that rela4onship by establishing a double tax treaty between Australia and Slovenia.

For proof the individual needs a current Slovenian Passport, evidence of eligibility of health insurance in Slovenia and European Health Insurance Card. Private Ac4vi4es There are well established laws in place for Slovenes wan4ng to spend more 4me in Australia and very easy to follow, that fall outside of the business domain, but, involve family and private ac4vi4es. The Private Interna2onal Law and Procedures Act operates between Slovenia and third countries such as Australia in regula4ng areas of marriage, divorce, matrimonial property, rela4ons between children and parents, paternity or maternity, maintenance, and interna4onal adop4on, wills probate aﬀairs, personal names, and guardianship. Australia’s system is dispersed across a lot of legisla4on and decided by the courts. Slovenia’s is simpler to follow. Conclusion Slovenes and Slovenia: –  Resilient country and people –  Have a lot to oﬀer other regions of the world –  An amazing wealth of informa4on, intellect and advanced businesses –  Are progressive and know how to advance themselves Finally, I am amazed and hold Slovenia up as a model to other na:ons that are also small in size at the way you have developed the new Slovenia.

Seminar: Poslovne priložnosti za slovenska podjetja v Avstraliji, Ljubljana 24.11.2014
V ponedeljek 24. novembra 2014 je v prostorih restavracije Nebotičnik v Ljubljani potekal seminar o
priložnostih slovenskih podjetij pri poslovanju z Avstralijo, ki ga je organizirala Gospodarska zbornica
Slovenije v sodelovanju z Veleposlaništvom RS v Canberri ter častnim konzulom iz Sydneyja g.
Anthonyjem Tomažinom.
Na seminarju je g. Anthony Tomažin predstavil možnosti in priložnosti za sodelovanje, ki jih
slovenskim podjetjem ponuja njegov konzulat v Sydneyju in povabil podjetja, da se pridružijo novo
ustanovljenemu poslovnemu klubu, ki je bil pod imenom Slovenian Australian Chamber of Commerce
uradno registriran pretekli teden. Več informacij o poslovnem klubu in pristopna izjava je dostopna na
sledeči internetni strani:
http://www.slovenianaustralianchamber.com.au/
Vse prisotne je v imenu Gospodarske zbornice nagovoril g. Aleš Cantarutti, direktor Centra za
mednarodno poslovanje na GZS, ki je omenil, da je Avstralija sicer oddaljen trg, sorazmerno majhen
kar se tiče števila potrošnikov, pri čemer pa njihova kupna moč, razvoj lastne industrije, naravna
bogastva, razvoj energetike na osnovi obnovljivih virov in vzpodbude za tuje investitorje predstavljajo
vzpodbude za vstop slovenskih podjetij na ta trg. Še posebej pa je potrebno upoštevati dejstvo, da
lahko Avstralija prispeva odlično izhodišče za poslovanje s širšo Azijsko pacifiško regijo.
V živo sta udeležence včerajšnjega posveta iz daljnega Melbourna pozdravila in predstavila svoje
izkušnje ter ostale zanimivosti pri poslovanju z Avstralijo g. Marko Batič, pooblaščeni direktor prodaje v
Sentosa Trading Pty Ltd Melbourne, ki uspešno posluje predvsem na področju električne opreme in
naprav – podjetje že uspešno zastopa podjetja Iskra d.d., ETI d.d. ter Kolektor Etra d.o.o., ter g. Peter
Mikuš, ki že osem let v okviru lastnega podjetja TOTO Properties Pty Ltd Melbourne deluje na
področju nepremičnin in gradbeništva. Slednji je izpostavil žalostno dejstvo kako Avstrijci uspešno
izvažajo lesene polizdelke namenjene gradnji in gradbeništvu, ki pa v osnovi prihajajo iz slovenskih
gozdov. Sta pa oba govornika pozvala slovenska podjetja, da se v okviru svojega poslovanja
poizkusijo uveljaviti tudi na avstralskem trgu, pri čemer sta pripravljena ponuditi tudi svoje izkušnje in
znanje.
Pravne okvire poslovanja in priložnosti, ki jih ponuja avstralski trg je predstavil strokovnjak za pravne
in politične zadeve g. Robert Walters, doktorski študent na Evropski pravni fakulteti v Novi Gorici in na
Victoria University v Melbournu. V svoji predstavitvi je povzel zakonodajo na področju davkov,
ustanavljanja podjetij ter viznega režima.
Izkušnje in način poslovanja podjetja Iskra Zaščite d.o.o. je predstavil dr. Antony Surtees, direktor
podjetja Iskra Protection USA iz Clevelanda, ki sicer za podjetje pokriva tako ameriški, kot tudi
avstralski trg, kjer je živel in delal preden se je preselil v ZDA. Sicer podjetje Iskra Zaščite d.o.o. izvaža
na avstralski trg kar tretjino svoje proizvodnje. Trg je po mnenju dr. Surteesa zanimiv tudi kot testni trg
za visoko kvalitetne in tehnološko napredne izdelke, saj je zaradi sorazmerno majhnega števila
prebivalcev obvladljiv, hkrati pa s svojo kvaliteto življenja, visoko strokovnostjo in znanjem omogoča
vstop samo najboljšim.
Nekaj praktičnih izkušenj in nasvetov je na koncu predstavil tudi g. Vinko Rizmal, direktor Slovensko
avstralskega združenja za poslovno in kulturno sodelovanje, ki je večino svojega življenja skupaj z
družino preživel v Avstraliji, kjer se je aktivno ukvarjal na vseh področjih: kulturnem, političnem in
gospodarskem. Med drugim je tudi glavni pobudnik za prenos stare mariborske trte na avstralska tla, v
zadnjem času, pa se ukvarja predvsem s promocijo in vključevanjem v poslovno mrežo, ki se je razvila
v Avstraliji (www.uglii.com )
Seminarja se je udeležilo preko 50 predstavnikov različnih podjetij, državnih inštitucij in medijev, kar
potrjuje aktualnost tematike in zanimanje slovenskih podjetnikov za vstop na avstralski trg.
