The European Union is preparing to open its doors to increased imports of lobster and bison meat from the United States. This forms part of a tariff agreement confirmed with Washington, according to European sources. The deal involves the elimination of EU duties on a selection of non-sensitive agro-food products imported from overseas, with an estimated total value of around €70 billion.
Products covered by the liberalization include US goods such as nuts, soybeans, lobster, fish, cheese, selected dairy products, pet food, fertilizers, and certain chemicals. These chemicals are also noted as a strategic alternative to Russian supplies.
The agreement, it is reiterated, does not include concessions on agricultural goods deemed sensitive. Therefore, beef, sugar, ethanol, and poultry remain excluded.
