Progress on Sri Lanka's UN commitments essential for GSP+ says EU
30 January 2016
Sri Lanka has “an awful lot to do” in terms of transforming the commitments it has made said the Ambassador and head of the European Union Delegation.
Highlighting serious allegations of war crimes at the end of Sri Lanka’s war against the Liberation Tamil Tigers of Tamil Eelam, Mr Daly said,
“Accountability is essential and mechanisms to ensure that are needed, and those mechanisms themselves should be credible.”
When asked about the reinstatement of the GSP+ trade benefit last week, he added,
“It is not possible to say at this stage, or exactly, at this moment it will happen. We must do a very serious and very objective assessment of the situation in any country that is applying for GSP plus. The UN system plays a very important role.”
Commenting on how to measure progress in Sri Lanka, he said,
“If you look at significant things like the commitments made in Geneva, the commitments made in the joint resolution co-sponsored by Sri Lanka, which is a major step forward, there you see the sort of things we mean.”
