WELLINGTON Adidas Women's Rita Ora Superstar Slip On Black Gold Online , Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- New Zealand Trade Minister Tim Groser indicated Friday that he might not attend last ditch talks to secure the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal in the United States.
New Zealand negotiators would participate in a meeting starting on Sept. 26 in Atlanta.
However, Groser said in a statement that he would be attending climate change talks in New York and he would travel to Atlanta " should negotiators make sufficient progress resolving outstanding issues, including dairy market access, to warrant ministerial engagement."
A spokesperson for Groser told Radio New Zealand Friday that he was waiting to see if there was any point in going.
The United States had reportedly called for ministers to meet after reports that it, Canada, Japan and Mexico had made progress on a disagreement about local content in the auto trade.
However Discount Adidas Superstar Slip On Women's Pink White , Groser said Thursday that the current offer on access for dairy -- New Zealand's largest single export commodity -- was "completely inadequate."
He still wanted to see whether officials could make enough progress on that and other issues to make it worth going to the ministerial talks set for Sept. 30, Radio New Zealand reported.
Opponents of the controversial TPP on Friday renewed calls for New Zealand to walk away from the talks as the country faced surrendering too much in return for too little.
The opposition Green Party said statements from Groser suggested he had given up on securing a good deal for New Zealand dairy exports, but might still sign anyway.
"It looks like Tim Groser has given up on securing a good deal for dairy, so why would he sign it given all the downsides?" Green Party trade spokesperson Russel Norman said in a statement.
"It looks like the truth is coming out that for all the huge concessions New Zealand has made, the payoff for dairy exports won 't be worth it," he said.
"The (TPP) is a bad deal for New Zealand because it restricts the right of democratically elected governments to regulate to protect the environment and human health Adidas Superstar Foundation Black White Outlet ," he added.
Talks in Hawaii at the beginning of August collapsed amid a raft of unresolved issues, including access for dairy, which New Zealand insisted was essential for any deal.
With Canada looking at a general election in October and the U. S. presidential election cycle getting underway, the latest talks are seen as the last chance to secure a deal in the foreseeable future.

SYDNEY, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) -- Despite figures from a survey suggesting that Australia's economy is looking brighter with consumer confidence higher, some experts believe that stagnant wages growth and fall in new home sales may be indicative of troubles ahead.
The latest ANZ-Roy Morgan consumer confidence survey released on Tuesday pegged a 3.9 percent rise over the week, with respondents citing an improved sentiment towards their future and current financial situations -- resulting in a 5.6 percent increase for the current, and a 2.2 percent increase in confidence for the future.
Despite this, the head of Australian economics at the ANZ Bank adidas superstar 80s metal toe white , David Plank, said on Tuesday that while the results were "encouraging", he was concerned over lack of momentum within the overall levels.
"Broadly, confidence has slipped in August, weighed down by concerns around disappointing wage growth and higher energy costs."
"Despite a strong labour market and moderate economic activity, any improvement in confidence is likely to remain capped until households experience a material acceleration in wage growth adidas superstar glitter stripes , which seems unlikely anytime soon."
This view, however, is not shared by the chief economist of CommSec, Craig James, who told Xinhua on Tuesday that he felt that the percepti.
