Phl, EU to resume FTA talks

The Philippine Star

October 09, 2024

The Philippines and the European Union (EU) are set to resume next week the negotiations for a free trade agreement (FTA), which the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) wants to conclude by 2027 to ensure continued preferential market access to the bloc.

- - Louella Desiderio

Trade Undersecretary Allan Gepty said in a Viber message that the next round of talks for the Philippines-EU FTA will be held from Oct.14 to 18 in Brussels, Belgium.

Back in March, former Trade Secretary Alfredo Pascual and EU executive vice-president and commissioner for trade Valdis Dombrovskis announced that FTA talks would resume this year after being put on hold due to the EU's concerns on the previous administration's conduct of its war on drugs.
