SINGAPORE AND THE EUROPEAN UNION CONCLUDE INVESTMENT DISCUSSIONS UNDER EUSFTA
Singapore and the European Union (EU) have concluded the negotiations of the Investment Protection Chapter of the EU-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (EUSFTA). This marks the successful conclusion of the negotiations of the entire EUSFTA following the initialling of the other parts of the agreement in September 2013. Negotiations on investment protection had started later based on a new EU competence under the Lisbon Treaty. The Investment Protection Chapter will now undergo legal scrubbing before both sides formally finalise the negotiations. After the agreement has been translated into all official EU languages, the agreement will be signed and ratified by both parties.
