EU, Philippines to engage in fresh FTA talks
The Philippines may start fresh talks with the European Union in the third quarter to iron out a proposed bilateral free trade agreement (FTA), according to the country’s chief trade negotiator.
Adrian S. Cristobal Jr., a Department of Trade and Industry undersecretary who steers the agency’s industry development and trade policy, said the Philippine government would soon wrap up a study on the potential benefits and impact of such a deal.
