A high level delegation from the EU is to arrive in Sri Lanka next week to hold discussions on the issue.

The Industry and Commerce Ministry announced that EU Ambassador to Sri Lanka David Daly has said that the EU Trade Working Group, a senior delegation on GSP plus, will be in the country on March 23 to discuss the trade facility.

Industry and Commerce Minister Rishard Bathiudeen has said that Sri Lanka had lost considerable apparel revenue over the past few years as a result of losing GSP plus.

“Recovery of GSP Plus would be a great step forward for our competitive apparel sector and its global image,” the Minister has said.
