President Marcos to ask EU to retain zero tariff on Philippine exports

The EU Parliament in February had obliged the Philippines to ensure its adherence to the 27 international conventions on human and labour rights, the environment and good governance. It had expressed concern over the extrajudicial killings and other serious human rights violations in the country.

Marcos told reporters human rights and GSP+ status “should be related to the other but we’ll see,” Philippine media outlets reported. “We’ll bring it up with the EU,” he added.
