She emphasised that FCCI might identify gaps and irritants in consultation with its member industries to take benefit of EU Post-GSP Plus status where TDAP will reframe strategic policies on the subject by subsidizing the foreign trade delegations.

President FCCI Suhail Bin Rashid said that the exports of the country needed to be diversified with traditional exports to non-traditional markets and vice versa. He emphasised on providing uninterrupted supply of gas and electricity to increase the share of value added textile products and produce trade surplus to take benefit of the EU Post-GSP regime.
