Pakistani textile exporters are concentrating on European and American markets for long and Pakistan’s home textiles & made-ups have created a niche in these markets. Welcoming Emilian Ion, PTEA (Pakistan Textile Exporters Association) Chief Asghar Ali said, “Romania is an important trading partner of Pakistan and both the countries urge to develop bilateral trade. Nurturing a perfect relationship the two agreed upon having more bilateral trade avenues while appreciating the Romanian Government’s support for a secured GSP Plus status.
Both have agreed to take the Romanian-Pakistan relations to the next level and plans to have a surge in the bilateral as well as EU level.”
The EU’s “Generalised Scheme of Preferences” (GSP) allows developing country exporters to pay less or no duties on their exports to the EU. This gives them vital access to EU markets and contributes to their economic growth.
