France promise help Pakistan for EU concessions: Dr. Baig
Karachi, April 14, 2011 (PPI): Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani requested Secretary General of French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs Pierre Sellal to support Pakistan case in the European Union for the tariff concession on the import of 75 Pakistani products mainly textile, said by Dr. Mirza Ikhtiar Baig.
EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht told EU Lawmakers that they are very actively working on that to get a solution. An original EU plan unveiled in October said duty suspensions would affect about 900 million euros worth of Pakistani exports to the EU and estimated Pakistan could boost sales to the EU by 100 million euros.
“Prime Minister has approved the formation of Pak-France Joint Business Council between FPCCI and MEDEF to enhance bilateral trade and investment between the two countries and a formal agreement is to be signed on the forthcoming visit of Prime Minister to France in May 2011 in presence of representatives from FPCCI,” Dr. Baig said in a statement on Thursday.
