EU: Free Trade Agreements
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they support the proposed free trade agreements being negotiated by Peru and Colombia with the European Union.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the Government support the free trade agreements being negotiated between the EU and Peru and Colombia. They help to open markets comprehensively, tackling a wide variety of barriers to trade beyond tariffs at the border. We believe that they are an important tool to support economic growth in developed and developing countries. They also help to promote core EU values in partner countries such as sustainability and the protection of human rights.
