Commission seeks to reduce US tariffs on EU exports
By EUobserver
The European Commission on Tuesday announced a proposal for the European Council and European Parliament to reduce tariffs between the bloc and the US. Such reductions would increase access to both EU and US markets by around €200m yearly. If adopted, the deal will allow a decrease of US tariffs on EU exports worth around €136m a year. This will put into effect an agreement reached in August.
