EUR/USD likely to find a peak near 1.25: UBS
Investing.com -- The European Union-United States trade deal does not currently include the wine and spirits sector, European Union Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic said on Thursday.
Sefcovic noted that while these products were not included in the current framework agreement, there remains potential for future negotiations.
"This one we didn’t get in. But I can tell you that there is clear commitment from the European Commission to put it on the table," Sefcovic said.
The EU Trade Commissioner emphasized that the door is not permanently closed to lowering tariffs for the wine and spirits sector, along with other sectors not covered by the existing deal.
While expressing commitment to address this issue in future talks, Sefcovic acknowledged the challenges ahead, stating, "I don’t want to say that it will be easy, regarding reaching agreement with U.S. on wines and spirits sector."
