Most of the EU’s imports are of textiles and apparels, which have created substantial employment opportunities for women in Burma, and which would be subject to tariffs if the EU withdraws ‘Everything But Arms’ preferences.</p><p> </p><p>Any decision to suspend preferences would need to be thoroughly assessed, bearing in mind the impact it could have on Burma’s poor.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Fairhead question first answered 14/11/2018 16:49:36 answering member 4690 label Biography information for Baroness Fairhead
