Pakistan exports to Europe increase by 37% after GSP Plus
ISLAMABAD: GSP Plus offers huge potential for enhancing mutual trade between Pakistan and the European Union, said Commerce Minister Khurram Dastgir on Thursday. 


“Not only have Pakistan’s exports to Europe increased by 37% during the last three years, the export of machinery, chemicals and dyes from Europe, needed to meet the rising demand of Pakistani products particularly textiles and garments in the European markets, has also increased by 14%,” said Dastgir. 


He expressed these views during his meeting with MEP Jan Zahradil, Member of the Committee on International Trade (INTA) in the European Parliament, in Brussels, Belgium. 


He apprised Zahradil of various steps being taken by the government of Pakistan to improve conditions of production in Pakistan and achievements in terms of improving law and order and human rights situation in the country.
