What has led to the delay in FTA talks between India and EU
The elections in India and EU have been cited as reasons for the postponement of FTA talks.
- The general elections in India in 2019 and the European Parliament elections in 2019 caused a delay in the FTA talks.
- Both India and the EU needed to focus on their domestic political priorities during election periods, leading to a pause in negotiations.
- Changes in government leadership and priorities post-elections also impacted the scheduling of FTA talks.
- Complex issues such as market access, trade barriers, and intellectual property rights require significant time and resources to negotiate.
- Differences in trade policies and regulations between India and the EU further complicate the FTA negotiations.
