EU to open market fully to Palestinian exports soon
The European Commission plans to open European Union markets fully to Palestinian exports in the coming months to help strengthen the Palestinian economy, the EU trade chief said on Thursday.
The EU decision to accelerate bilateral trade was announced after a meeting between EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht and Palestinian Economy Minister Hasan Abu-Libdeh. "The European Commission is expected to propose granting duty-free, quota-free access for Palestinian exports to the EU in the coming months. It would help to revamp the private sector," De Gucht said in a statement. (Reuters)
