Earlier in August, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc approved a plan to implement the trade pact which took effect on August 1.

The official signing of the trade pact in Ha Noi on June 30, 2019 marked the new turning point in the Viet Nam-EU relations as it is expected to broaden opportunities for the two sides’ businesses, particularly it offers chances for economic recovery in the post-COVID-19 period.

Under the agreement, Viet Nam will cut 65% of import tax on EU commodities right after the deal takes effect, while the rest will be eliminated in a 10-year period.

Meanwhile, the EU will cut more than 70% of tariff on Viet Nam’s commodities right after the deal comes into effect and the rest will be removed in the seven subsequent years.

According to the General Department of Customs, in August this year, VietNam gained US$3.78 billion from exporting to the EU.
