<h1>PakistanEU trade concerns over IndiaEU free trade agreement prompt bilateral engagement to protect export competitiveness and market access</h1> Pakistan notified engagement with EU authorities to address potential export impacts following a newly concluded IndiaEU free trade agreement, identifying erosion of Pakistan's tariff advantage under the EU GSP+ scheme as the central concern and seeking bilateral and collective consultations with EU Member States and Brussels to preserve market access. The GSP+ expiry timeline was noted as commercially significant, given documented export gains in textiles under concessional tariffs. The statement also affirms ongoing diplomatic dialogue on defence and regional issues, rejects linkage between certain multilateral initiatives, and frames trade continuity and export competitiveness as the operative objectives of Pakistan's outreach.
