Talks on trade policy of the European Union

The Sri Lanka-France Business Council (SLFBC) of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce will organise a discussion on the "Trade Policy of the EU - The Main Export Market of Sri Lanka" on October 18 at the Hilton Colombo Residence, Colombo 2.

The 27 EU members share a single market that accounts for 20 percent of global trade.

The unprecedented levels of competition forced by globalisation, has changed the way Sri Lanka trades with countries. Trade policies adopted by the EU when dealing with the rest of the world play a crucial role in determining access to the European market by Sri Lankan exporters and a level playing field in the European market.

The guest speaker will be Attaché, Trade and Economic, Delegation of the European Union to Sri Lanka and Maldives, Roshan Lyman.

French Ambassador Christine Robichon will be the chief guest.
