EU External Trade: Tunisia
(asked on 21st November 2014) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether duties on goods from Tunisia entering the European Union have been eliminated; and if not, to what extent they will be reduced in the coming year.
This question was answered on 5th December 2014
Following the signing of an Association Agreement with the EU in 1995, the import Tariffs on industrial products originating from Tunisia have been eliminated. The same Agreement also resulted in greater liberalisation in the Tariffs on agricultural and fishery products.
A preparatory process for launching negotiations on a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) is on-going.
