    India defers free trade agreement talks with EU
    Credits:
  • India has decided to defer talks with the European Union on the Broadbase Investment and Trade Agreement (BITA).

    This protest comes in the wake of the EU ban on pharmaceutical products tested by GVK Biosciences.

    India has voiced its anger because similar products are already present in EU markets without any ban.

    India stands to lose $1.2 billion because of this ban.

    Free trade talks between India and EU stalled

    Free trade talks between India and EU stalled
  • The negotiations for the BTIA were aimed at liberalising the merchandise trade but also covered services and investment, the areas of great interest to India.

    The talks have remained stuck because the EU is dissatisfied with India's "insurance, government purchases and market access for automobiles and wines & spirits" offers.

    Stalled talks mean missed opportunities of market access for both EU and India.

    7 rounds of failed BTIA negotiations

  • Broad-based Trade and Investment Agreement (BTIA) initiated in 2007 for 'Free Trade Agreement' has had 7 rounds of discussions without reaching any conclusive decision.

    India and EU set tentative date for negotiations
  • India and the European Union finally set a date in August to resume the suspended negotiations for a free trade agreement (FTA).

    Both EU and India are keen to end the deadlock, confirmed the outgoing commerce secretary Rajeev Kher.

    Kher said it would be timely to conclude the deal as it would give a 'boost to textile and leather exports' which need the push.
