NEW DELHI: India and the European Union will begin the 14th round of negotiations for the proposed Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in Brussels on Monday, senior officials said.

The fresh round of talks between senior officials will extend over a period of five days. This will be followed up by another meeting between Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and his EU counterpart Maros Sefcovic in South Africa on the sidelines of the G20 trade commissioners’ summit.

The proposed India-EU FTA covers 23 policy areas, or chapters, of which at least two – market access and rules of origin – have yet to be resolved.
