Recommendation 19

To address non-tariff barriers, the Government should open structured, sector-focused discussions with India to reduce the most trade-distorting barriers identified by industry, using the Sub-Committee on Standards, Technical Regulations and Conformity Assessment. The Government should clearly identify priority issues and set out a timetable for their resolution and protect the appropriate resourcing of Foreign Office and Department for Business and Trade staff for deal implementation. (Recommendation, Paragraph 104)
