Delhi: Mikko Kivikoski, Ambassador of Finland to India, says, “When the trade deal, free trade agreement, will be in force, and that's hopefully, I mean the signing will be by the end of the year, and then it needs to be ratified in the Parliament here in India, and also in the European Parliament. It will take some time, so hopefully next year we will have the agreement in force. So what happens is that actually it creates a market of 2 billion people. 1.5 in India and 500 million in Europe, so that's huge, huge market. In addition to the free trade agreement, there is also negotiations going on on investment protection agreement between the European Union and India... here, obviously European Union and India are sort of looking each other as a trusted partners.”
