Kyrgyzstan plans to join the updated system of general preferences of the European Union, the Ministry of Economy of the KR reported.
Changes in the current GSP regime was approved in October 2012 and entered into force in 2014. GSP schemes+ provide duty-free access to goods, for which the standard GSP provides a tariff reduction and expands the list of preferential goods
