India and EU Continue Talks on Investment Protection and Geographical Indications Agreements
India and the European Union are negotiating separate agreements on Investment Protection and Geographical Indications alongside their free trade deal, which is expected to be signed by the end of the year. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal stated that legal changes in India are needed to finalize the GI pact. The Investment Protection Agreement aims to safeguard investments between the two regions, while the GI agreement will protect region-specific products like Darjeeling tea and Feta cheese. Implementation may follow in 2027.
