A View from Italy: Uzbekistan's accession to GSP + means that now Uzbek agricultural and textile producers have the opportunity to export twice as much of their products to European countries

ROME, April 12. / IA "Dunyo" /. “The accession of Uzbekistan to the GSP + of the European System of Preferences means that now Uzbek producers of agricultural and textile industries have the opportunity to export twice as much of their products to European countries without customs duties,” said Luigi Iperti, President of the Italy-Uzbekistan Chamber of Commerce, commenting for IA "Dunyo" Uzbekistan receives the status of a beneficiary of the special system of preferences of the European Union "GSP +". - More than 6 thousand items are included in this list of goods. Considering that the European market is very large and capacious - goods worth many billions of dollars are imported to Europe every year from all over the world - this market has the opportunity to import many types of goods from Uzbekistan.

I am confident that Uzbekistan will be able to successfully use the opening opportunities, applying new technologies and creating modern laboratories. This is important as goods imported from Uzbekistan must meet strict quality requirements and European Union standards.

We in Italy, in particular, members of the Italy-Uzbekistan Chamber of Commerce, are very pleased with this event, since many Italian companies are showing interest in Uzbek goods and are ready to import agricultural and textile products from Uzbekistan. Joining GSP + creates a better and more simplified environment for that. "
