Abstract
EU and India first launched negotiations for an EU India Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in 2007. Since then, progress has been achieved in the areas of goods, tariffs, services, investment, procurement, standards and trade facilitation; but it might still take a while before negotiations are finally concluded. As negotiations have not only focused on trade, but also on facilitation of bilateral investments, the FTA is often referred to as a Bilateral Investment and Trade Agreement (BITA).
This research has been conducted before Anneleen Vandeplas started working at the European Commission, with financial support of the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO). Opinions expressed in this paper are those of the author and do not reflect the view of her past or present institutions.
