Major EU trade deal with Singapore
The EU Trade Commissioner and Singapore's Minister of Trade have completed final negotiations on a free trade agreement.
The agreement represents a landmark moment in our relationship with Singapore. Britain will only prosper in the global race if we can compete with the fastest growing economies. In the past two and a half years, I have led some of the biggest trade delegations around the world and I have championed an ambitious trade liberalisation agenda within the EU.
This agreement negotiated by the Commission will be good for British business and act as a gateway to other dynamic economies in Asia. Protectionism is one of the biggest threats to the world economy and that’s why I’ve made trade a central plank of the UK’s G8 Presidency next year.

11 年A free trade agreement between the EU and Singapore does make sense in every aspect, including level of economic progress, legal, education, culture etc. Singapore has undoubtedly become one of the developed nations league and at the same time has become the financial and trade centers of the region.

12 年David Cameron , the prime minister is visionary leader, His philosophy of governance is for tommorow , we have to sacrifice our today. All the measures the government as taken so far is to re build the economy and creat more jobs and well as maintaining UK's competitivess in the global economy. America and France lost their tripple AAA rating recently accoding to standard and poor.He recent threat to use UK weighted voting in the EU budget that not mean UK want to withdraw from EU but to put pressure on financial discipline and accountability on EU member states in the of austerity like this. The only mistake this government have done is cutting too fast and too deep. But the good new is UK's economy will back ontrack by Q2 2013.
