Committee on International Trade

An ad hoc delegation of eight Members will travel to Santiago de Chile from 23 to 25 May 2022 to discuss the progress of the modernisation of the trade part of the existing 2002 EU-Chile Association Agreement and other bilateral trade matters.

In its meeting of 16 and 17 May, the International Trade Committee will vote on the temporary suspension of EU tariffs on Ukranian goods, as well as on a number of legislative and non-legislative files. In addition, Commission Executive-Vice Presidents Vestager and Dombrovskis will debrief Members about EU-US trade and technology cooperation right after an important meeting.

This week, the INTA Committee will vote on its position on the new Generalized Scheme of Tariff Preferences (GSP) Regulation, which will be the basis for the upcoming negotiations with the Council. First, INTA Members will vote in the evening of 2 May on the amendments tabled, followed by a vote on the INTA position as a whole and the entry into inter-institutional negotiations on 3 May.

On 25 April, the INTA Committee will vote on two key legislative files. Namely, the Committee will vote on the draft report on the Foreign Subsidies Regulation that will be the basis for the upcoming inter-institutional negotiations with the Council. INTA will also vote on the provisional agreement regarding the International Procurement Instrument ahead of its final adoption by the EP plenary in the June I part-session.
