GSP+ EXPIRES IN 2027

- By LOUELLA DESIDERIO

The agriculture and garment sectors stand to be the most affected if the Philippines is unable to conclude a free trade agreement (FTA) with the European Union (EU) when the bloc’s trade preference scheme expires, according to the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP).

This was underscored in the 2025 edition of the ECCP’s advocacy papers providing recommendations in the agriculture; automotive; aviation; customs and logistics; environment and water; food and beverage; health care; human capital and education; infrastructure and information communications technology; renewable energy and energy efficiency; tax and financial services; and tourism industries.

The ECCP’s advocacy papers are aimed at strengthening European-Philippine relations and promoting a business environment that supports investment, innovation and sustainable growth.
