Hopeful for GSP retention by December
Commerce ministry on Thursday stressed on going faster in appointment of at least 200 labour inspectors by December for retaining GSP status for Bangladeshi products in the U.S. market, officials said. The ministry at a meeting on the day reviewed the implementation progress of actions taken by the government based on the action plan set by U.S. in order to restore generalised system of preferences facility in its market and found slow headway in appointment of labour inspectors, they said.
Commerce secretary Mahbub Ahmed, however, expressed satisfaction over the progress made by the government agencies in implementation of action plan and hoped that the government would be able to make substantial progress in this regard by December.
‘We have reviewed the progress and found remarkable development,’ he said after the meeting held at his office.
