EU proposes four-year extension of GSP+ status for Pakistan

GSP+ extension applies to multiple countries, including Pakistan, EU confirms

ISLAMABAD: The European Union (EU) has suggested prolonging Pakistan’s Generalized Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+) status for an additional four years, according to the EU’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Riina Kionka.

In a video message shared on Twitter, the EU’s representative stated that the proposed extension would maintain the existing trade benefits for Pakistan. However, Pakistan would still be required to comply with the 27 international human rights, labor rights, environment, and governance conventions outlined by the EU for the GSP+ status.

Kionka mentioned that the EU would continue to monitor Pakistan’s progress and regressions in meeting these obligations and would provide regular reports to the European Parliament and member states.

She highlighted that the proposed extension applies to all eight GSP+ countries, not solely Pakistan. The primary objective is to avoid a sudden cessation of trade benefits at the end of the current year. Such an abrupt halt would negatively affect Pakistani exporters, factory workers, their families, and European enterprises reliant on Pakistani suppliers.

Kionka reassured that the upcoming report on the GSP+ monitoring mission would be published soon, emphasizing that she did not want to speculate about its findings.

Transparency is the key in business and human dealings, while looking for help after losing my funds to an unregulated trading platform, I came across numerous testimonials about Software Specialist.

  2. I lost access to my crypto when the wallet service i was using went offline permanently. So i have been struggling for months to try and figure out how i will access my wallet again. After much struggle, a friend of mine referred me to Funds Retrieval. I was pleased with the guy because his communication was quick, transparent, and professional. I provided the necessary requirements to his mail at Fundsretrieval1 @ Gmail com and somewhat he had a direction of how he would recover my wallet. Funds retrieval was very responsive to emails and after some few days he recovered my wallet. I was nervous and worried if he could really access my wallet but there really was no need to be uneasy. He acted professionally and in accordance with our agreement. I would highly recommend using Funds Retrieval services.
