Colombia Signs Free Trade Deal With 4-Country European Group
The agreement was signed by Colombian Trade Minister Luis Guillermo Plata and the trade ministers of the four member states, EFTA said.
"Ministers welcomed the strengthening of trade and economic relations with Colombia and are confident that the new trade opportunities would contribute to economic growth and development," the group said.
Switzerland's Economy Ministry said the EFTA countries would now benefit from greater access to the Colombian market for industrial products, as well as processed agricultural goods and fish and other seafood.
The agreement also covers services, intellectual property and technical cooperation, the ministry said in a statement.
