<h1>India-EU trade deal liberalises tariffs, sets Rules of Origin, secures services commitments, and establishes safeguards and sustainability cooperation.</h1> The India-EU trade agreement liberalises tariffs and secures sectoral services commitments while preserving regulatory autonomy. It specifies detailed Rules of Origin (WO; CTC; Value Addition; Specific Processing), bilateral cumulation, self declaration through a prescribed Statement on Origin and digital Certificates of Origin, and verification and authentication procedures. A bilateral safeguard mechanism (available during a 22 year transition) permits temporary MFN duty increases up to four years with non reapplication limits. IP provisions reaffirm TRIPS flexibilities, the TBT chapter provides conformity assessment cooperation and is subject to dispute settlement, and a cooperative TSD/SFS framework monitors labour, environment and sustainability without binding harmonisation.
