If you want India to lower tariffs and facilitate more free trade, then I think Indian producers also have a right to enter the European market.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Indians invest more in Britain than in the rest of European Union combined. It is not because they want to save on interpretation costs, but because they find an environment that is welcoming and familiar.
More reforms will give more impetus to German industries to invest in India. German companies want to be treated on par with Indian companies, and creation of an equitable market is crucial for investments.
I am a very big proponent of opening the borders with India. Most of our trade is done through unofficial channels. Why not open the trade?
Both France and Britain are supportive of India's bid for a broad-based agreement on trade and investment with the European Union.
I believe in free trade. I don't support regulating trade prices between different regions. Our point of view is we don't want trade barriers between different countries.
The world wants India to remain an import-based economy. Then India can be a dumping ground where gold can be dumped and other commodities such as oil and gas. They look at India as a huge market.
That foreign trade should be fair rather than free.
My view is make Indian manufacturing competitive, and if it is competitive, it can serve customers or consumers anywhere.
India has the unique advantages of having the biggest domestic market and this should support IT companies.
The commerce of India does not grow, nor does that of Portugal, or of Turkey; that but that of the protected countries does increase, as has been shown in the case of Spain, and can now be shown in that of Germany.
