Description
Signed a trade agreement and an investment protection agreement with Viet Nam on 30 June 2019, aimed at granting preferential treatment for goods and services and eliminating non-tariff barriers encountered by both sides. For the meat sector, the agreements offer duty-free access into Viet Nam for EU frozen pig meat after 7 years, and provide for poultry meat to be fully liberalized after 10 years.
