TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi-Reworking of proposed India-EU free trade agreement is dependent on the conditions of UK’s withdrawal arrangement from the European Union, Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said today. She also informed the Rajya Sabha that the impact of the exit of the UK from EU on India is expected to be minimal.
“The need for India to rework the proposed FTA with the EU (minus UK)…and the timing of such recalibration are dependent on the terms and conditions of UK’s withdrawal arrangement from the EU,” Sitharaman said in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha.
In a separate question, she also said that the impact of the exit of the UK from EU on India is expected to be minimal. India is well prepared to deal with the situation considering its sound macro-economic fundamentals, comfortable external position, commitment to fiscal discipline and declining inflation, she added.
