The EDB organized a seminar on May 29 in association with the export product associations on 'Renewed Opportunities in the EU Market' with the objective of making the Sri Lankan export community aware of the opportunities under the EU GSP+ concessions.

There were over 200 companies representing the following sectors: apparel and textiles, footwear and gaiters, rubber and rubber-based products, fish and seafood, precious stones and jewellery, ceramics, plant and foliage, vegetable and fruits, coconut-based products, tea, spices, electrical machinery and equipment and parts. The programme was a great opportunity for the participant companies to gain the overall knowledge on EU GSP+ concession and to clarify issues related to the concession and EU region in their effort to penetrate in the EU market.
