EU TO RESUME FTA TALKS WITH MALAYSIA THIS YEAR

The stalled Malaysia-European Union (EU) Free-Trade Agreement (FTA) talks will be resumed sooner, within this year, said EU Ambassador and Head of Delegation to Malaysia, Maria Castillo-Fernandez.  She said EU Member States Chief Negotiator would submit the re-launch of the negotiations proposal next month in Brussels, Belgium. Castillo-Fernanadez said Malaysia and the EU had enough solid grounds to finalize the talks within a reasonable timeframe.
