MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 15th April, 2019) The EU Council has authorized the European Commission to start talks with the United States on eliminating tariffs on industrial products, the council said in a statement Monday.
"The Council today approved mandates for the Commission to open negotiations with the United States on two agreements: a trade agreement limited to the elimination of tariffs for industrial goods only, excluding agricultural products, [and] an agreement on conformity assessment that would have as its objective the removal of non-tariff barriers, by making it easier for companies to prove their products meet technical requirements both in the EU and the US while maintaining a high level of protection in the EU," the council said.
