EU|Vietnam Agreement enters into force today

The EU-Vietnam agreement comes into force today. Vietnam is now part of 77 countries trading with the EU under bilaterally agreed preferential conditions. These trade agreements offer EU companies a chance to access new emerging markets and create jobs for Europeans.

The EU-Vietnam agreement strengthens EU economic links with the dynamic region of South-East Asia and has economic potential that will contribute to the recovery after the coronavirus crisis.
