Deal with UK to be operational by April
THE EUROPEAN UNION (EU) is expected to complete the ratification of its Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with India by November while the India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) will be operational by the end of April, a senior official said on Thursday.
The legal scrubbing of the FTA between India and the EU is expected to be completed by July, after which the ratification process would start. The FTA between India and the EU was finalised on January 27.
Talks with the UK are on for an issue related to the entry into force of CETA and it would be sorted out soon and agreement could come into force by the end of April, the official added. India and the UK signed CETA on July 24, 2025. Since then it has been discussed in both Houses of Parliament.
