Sri Lanka's former foreign affairs minister warns of increasing EU conditions for GSP+

Former foreign minister GL Peiris said that any the number of conditions that the EU was imposing on Sri Lanka to regain the GSP+ trade concession had increased since his tenure as Sri Lanka’s foreign minister.

Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Mr Peiris said that there were only 11 conditions that Sri Lanka had to fulfil to regain the trade concession.

“Now it has been increased to 58” he added stressing that full approval from the cabinet had not been approved for these conditions, reports adaderana.lk.
