Digest No: 01; Dated: February 04, 2009
STATEMENTS AND OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS
EU Parliament Report on EU-India FTA
Karim Sajjad, Member of European Parliament (MEP) and Rapporteur from the Committee on International Trade to the European Parliament, has presented a Draft Report on the EU-India FTA (Draft report). Directives from the EU Parliament to the EU Commission (which is in charge of the negotiations) will be based on this report. The report is heavily biased, ignoring any concern expressed on the consequences of the far reaching provisions included in the negotiations so far. Indian civil society concerns publicly shared with a visiting MEP delegation as well as other independent concerns from India and EU have been completely neglected (Forum on FTAs letter to MEPs).
