On 21 January 2015, the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) announced that delegations from the EFTA and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) States convened on 15 January 2015 in Muscat, Oman to discuss the implementation of the EFTA-GCC Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in the GCC States.
According to the announcement,
The Joint Committee discussed the necessary steps towards implementation of the FTA in the GCC States. The GCC delegation reported that the GCC States’ target was to have the FTA fully implemented by 1 July 2015 and that work was underway to achieve that goal. The two sides agreed to give full priority to finding solutions to problems that had arisen since the FTA’s entry into force on 1 July 2014. The Joint Committee further decided to schedule a meeting of the Subcommittee on Customs and Origin Matters for April this year.
