The Employer's Federation of Pakistan (EFP) and the Pakistan Readymade Garments Manufacturers and Exporters Association (PRGMEA) recently formed a committee to sensitise the government and other stakeholders on effective lobbying to ensure the European Union (EU) extends its generalised scheme of preferences plus status to Pakistan for another ten years beginning January 1.
This was unanimously agreed at a high-level EFP meeting. The meeting nominated Ijaz Khokhar as the chief coordinator of PRGMEA and EFP's director of economic council Masood Naqi as the co-convener of the GSP Plus committee.
The committee would include PRGMEA chairman Sohail Afzal, EFP vice president Zaki Ahmed Khan, EFP director Mehnaz Kaludi, who will represent the towels sector. More members would be added later, according to Pakistani media reports.
The meeting also approved terms of reference of the committee and decided to increase interaction and communication with seven federal ministries.
