EU, India conclude 4th round of talks for proposed FTA

“Round 4 of India EU-FTA negotiations held at Brussels,'' Nidhi Mani Tripathi, joint secretary in the department of commerce and India's chief negotiator for the agreement, tweeted.

Negotiations for the proposed trade pact started with the EU in 2007, but were stalled in 2013 as both sides failed to reach a consensus on key issues.

India's merchandise exports to EU were worth $65 billion in fiscal 2021-22, while imports were worth $51.4 billion.

The next round of the talks is scheduled for 12-16 June in New Delhi.
