The Government has formally initiated negotiations for an amendment to a EU Financing Agreement supporting the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement.

The amendment will extend the project by two more years and will supplement it with 2 million euros to improve communication efforts. The goal is to further raise awareness of the benefits of the DCFTA for both businesses and the public at large.

The project’s beneficiary is the Ministry of Economy and Infrastructure. The extension of the initial two-year time frame will help to make the most of the offered funds and complete the proposed activities, argued the Ministry.
