European Parliament Alerts from the International Trade committee

Highlights - INTA Mission to Sri Lanka, from 4 to 6 April 2018 - Committee on International Trade 05-04-2018 11:57 AM CEST The upcoming mission of INTA Members aims to follow-up on Sri Lanka's commitments made in the process of applying for GSP+ status (The Generalized System of Preferences), which was granted to Sri Lanka in May 2017. The visit allows not only to monitor the implementation of the 27 GSP+ relevant international conventions on the spot, but also to have a first assessment of the impact of the EU's generous unilateral trade preferences on trade and investment relations between the EU and Sri Lanka. It also feeds into INTA's ongoing work on GSP implementation, following its Public Hearing on GSP and the publication of the bi-annual GSP implementation report by the Commission. The INTA Delegation is expected to have high-level meetings with the relevant Ministers, Parliamentarians as well as with representatives of business, Civil Society and International Organisations in Colombo.
