FAISALABAD:
The United Kingdom has said that approval of the European Union is necessary for a free trade agreement between Pakistan and the UK, but Britain will continue its support for the inclusion of Pakistan in the EU’s Generalised Scheme of Preferences (GSP) Plus – which reduces duties on export of certain items from developing countries – in 2014.
Alison McEwen, Head of Bilateral Team for Pakistan, British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), during her visit to the Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FCCI) on Wednesday, stressed that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office would cooperate with Pakistan in exchange of trade delegations between the two countries.
