EU & Vietnam Agree to Start FTA Talks

According to Nikkei Newspaper today, European Union (“EU”) and Vietnam have agreed to launch bilateral Free Trade Agreement (“FTA”) negotiations.

EU and Vietnamese officials will now work together towards the formal start of negotiations as well as an agreed framework for the talks to reach an FTA.

EU have already started bilateral FTA negotiation with Singapore, as reported in this blog in December 2009. As regional FTA (EU-Asean) is stuck with issues and difference of opinions from various parties, EU looks like making shift to bilateral FTA with each Asean country where possible.
