SINGAPORE - The free trade agreement (FTA) between the European Union (EU) and Singapore, which came into force in November 2019, has served as an anchor for both economies amid the Covid-19 pandemic and protectionist sentiment worldwide, President Halimah Yacob said on Friday (March 5).
She pointed out that both sides had given a strong signal by undertaking some very substantive commitments in tariff elimination, on rules of origin and on market access with the landmark deal, the first between the EU and an Asean member state. It also signals a strong commitment to upholding free, fair global trade, as well as serves as a pathfinder for an EU-Asean agreement in the future, she said.
