The Committee on International Trade adopted the report drafted by Robert STURDY (ECR, UK) in which it recommends the European Parliament to give its consent to the conclusion of the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Korea, of the other part.
Members consider that this Agreement will give substance to the EU's repeated rhetoric of fighting protectionism and will lead to fairer trade partnership, shared prosperity and mutual development of the two counterparties.
