EVFTA to be enforced soon
VTV.vn - ​The European Union (EU) wants to ratify the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) in 2018 and start implementing it as soon as possible.

The EU's chief negotiator Mauro Petriccione made these remarks at an EVFTA workshop in Brussels on September 7. The event, held by the European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (EuroCham) and the Confederation of European Business, attracted nearly 100 participants, including representatives from EU and Vietnamese agencies and European business leaders in Vietnam. At the event, a number of speakers noted that with a population of nearly 100 million and fast and stable economic growth, Vietnam is an especially promising market. They also lauded the opportunities generated by the EVFTA.
