EU deal is back


Ferry: Flexibility is one of the reasons why the EU has continued its relationship with Malaysia.

IT was halted in 2012, but it is back on the table – and the proposed free trade agreement (FTA) between Malaysia and the European Union (EU) region could be one of the more significant deals this year, despite geopolitical tensions that cloud global trade.

The FTA talks began to resurface in June last year when an assessment was done, and both parties decided it was time to restart negotiations.
