India, EU FTA should resolve tariff, non-tariff barriers: Swedish Minister

12 Jun 2025 Evaluate

Swedish Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade Benjamin Dousa has said that the European Union (EU) and India should work towards a free trade agreement (FTA) that addresses tariff and non-tariff barriers as both regions are currently ‘a bit over-regulated’. He noted that both issues are key for a smoother flow of goods across borders.

Addressing business leaders of India and Sweden, he said the EU and India will gain significantly from the proposed FTA. He said ‘the best for both the EU and for India will be an FTA, which is not only about tariffs but also includes non-tariff barriers...I think, both in the EU and in India, we are... just a bit over-regulated right now’. 

He added that India can become a trusted manufacturing hub if it can continue to attract foreign direct investments. As many as 75 Indian companies have a presence in Sweden. They have employed about 7,000 people. He also said that Sweden can help India increase its share of manufacturing in its GDP.
