Summary Urges both countries for early implementation of SAFTA under SAARC agreement.
ISLAMABAD (Online) - Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) has called upon the government to grant Non Discriminatory Access to India at the earliest.
FPCCI meeting was held under acting president Muhammad Ali at Federation House on India Pakistan trade relations.
Muhammad Ali said that Pakistan had slashed its tariffs on Indian imports considerably, but we still face problems in accessing the Indian market owing to the presence of non-tariff barriers, including delays at the customs clearance stage, massive subsidization of agriculture sector in India, standardization of HS codes between both countries and non banking channels.
S.M. Muneer said that Pakistan was sincere in the process of trade normalization. At the same time, he said that while Pakistan allowed Indian imports easily, the same ease in conducting business was still lacking from the Indian side which should be addressed.
Yawar Ali emphasized on the need that both countries should ensure early implementation of SAFTA under SAARC agreement.
