Certain parties continue attempts to deprive Sri Lanka of the GSP Plus

Minister Professor G.L. Peiris says that certain parties continue attempts to remove Sri Lanka of the GSP Plus tax concession arranged by the European Union.
He said Sri Lanka has yet not applied for the extension of the system since no country can apply till the European Commission takes legal measures.
He also refuted statements that the government of France is against the Sri Lankan government. Mr.Peiris said that there is no basis for the rumours that western countries are against Sri Lanka.
