BELARUS NEWS AND ANALYSIS

DATE:

07/07/2006

The EU is likely to remove Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) benefits from Belarus for its lack of "compliance with ILO (International Labour Organisation) commitments," said a European Commission official.

If that should occur, it would only be the second time that the EU has removed a country from its GSP program. Burma was the first country to be dropped from the program.

The EU ranks as Belarus' second largest export market after Russia.
