Although El Salvador and Sri Lanka were included in the decision today, questions remain over the degree of effective implementation of certain UN and ILO conventions in these countries. The European Commission launched investigations in May (El Salvador) and October (Sri Lanka) in order to ascertain whether or not the two countries fulfil the conditions to continue to receive GSP+ preferences. While the investigations are ongoing the countries continue to receive preferential access, but depending on the findings they could be withdrawn from the scheme.
