EU, India trying to bridge gaps during tough phase of FTA talks

Negotiations between India and the EU for an FTA have entered the ‘most difficult’ phase, with both sides engaged in bridging the gaps and closing the talks soon, a top Indian official said.
Ruling out dropping any chapter now, he said the negotiation process will not stop if internal time lines are not met.
The 16th round of negotiations concluded earlier this month in New Delhi.
