The editorial
Source: The Hindustan Times · 25 Sep 2024India will raise concerns of its stakeholders about the European Union’s move to impose unequitable sustainability regulations -- labour standards, deforestation rules and carbon tax -- at the five-day free trade talk starting Monday because such stringent measures would hamper Indian exports to the EU and make its small and medium enterprises uncompetitive, people aware of the development said.
The ninth round of India-EU free trade agreement talks, which starts on Monday in the Indian capital, will also discuss ‘concerns over sustainability measures’ along with ‘core’ trade issues, said the people cited above, requesting anonymity. Core issues on the negotiating table include trade in goods and services, digital trade, investment protection, government procurement and intellectual property rights (IPRs), they added.
