Islamabad: The European Commission has decided to retain Pakistan on its preferential Generalised Scheme of Preference-Plus (GSP+) status, news sources reported. The decision was made as opposed to the resolution by the European Parliament that called for excluding the country from the list.
The European Commission situated in Brussels contended that there are no solid grounds or basis to exclude Pakistan from the GSP+ status list thus the country will remain on the list until the next review in 2024.
The EU Commission, on the other hand, has inserted six additional requirements for Pakistan to follow in order to continue in the category. The commission advocated for stricter adherence to climate change legislation, the Paris Climate Agreement, improved accessibility for individuals with impairments, and the abolition of child labour.
