~~EXPLANTORY STATEMENT~~

Niue benefits from standard GSP arrangement that grants it duty elimination or reductions for about 66% of all EU tariff lines. In order to benefit from full duty-free-quota-free access to the EU market and the wider opportunities of the Agreement, Niue would need to accede to the interim EPA between the EU and the Pacific States.

Your rapporteur supports the economic integration of the Pacific States and welcomes the accession of Niue to the iEPA as this will be beneficial for the region as well as for trade relations with the European Union. The accession will also help supporting Niue on its path to sustainable economic growth.
