EU Delegation in SL to Evaluate GSP+ Eligibility

The report of the European Commission’s technical team which examined Sri Lanka’s application for the restoration of General System of Preferences Plus (GSP+) duty concessions had deliberated  that the Srilanka  now meets the eligibility criteria as set out in Art 9 (1) of the GSP regulations. Followed by this, the European Commission recommended to the European Union parliament that GSP+ be granted to Sri Lanka.

A special discussion regarding the granting of “GSP Plus” will be held on the 19th of April in Brussels, Belgium.

A delegation from the European Union (EU) has arrived in the country to evaluate  Sri Lanka’s eligibility for the reinstatement of the Generalised Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+).  The delegation will be focusing on factors such as the economic stability of the country and  human and labour rights in the country  to name a few.
