From the show
It has been described as the Mother Of All Deals. But will the accords struck between the EU and India lead to a wider sense of a Happy Family? The signing took place with predictable, and some might say, justifiable fanfare. The headline says it's a free trade festival, 20 years in the planning. Clear and present opportunities for business to go back and forth.
In this debate, we will discuss the plan, analyse the opportunities and shine a light on the possible threats. In a world where local production is often bragged about by the politicians, does a multilateral accord represent a threat to local business? The scenes of French farmers protesting over the EU deal with South America's Mercosur are still very fresh in all our minds...
Produced by Mark Owen, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Piera Rocco, Charles Wente.
