Showcasing new trade and business opportunities for Jordan and the EU.
Today, the EU and Jordan further strengthened their close partnership through a joint high-level meeting promoting enhanced trade, business and investment opportunities available in Jordan. The meeting showcased the “EU Rules of Origin Initiative” that aims to mitigate the effects of the Syrian refugee crisis on the Jordanian economy. Thanks to the initiative launched last year Jordanian exporters benefit now from an extra flexibility as it comes to the use of foreign components. In the result, the EU reviewed the rules of origin protocol of the EU-Jordan Association Agreement and complemented the change with financial and technical assistance.
