#EU pulls part of tariff preferences to #Cambodia under EU's #EverythingButArms' #EBA trade scheme citing "serious & systematic #violations of the #humanrights principles". This effective Aug 12. This will cost Cambodia about €1 billion of Cambodia's annual exports to the EU
Last month international clothing brands even called on #Cambodia #PM #HunSen to "take specific, concrete, & time-bound steps to bring Cambodia in line with international labor standards". Warned #labor, #humanrights situation will affect trade preferences fairlabor.org/blog/entry/joi…
@hrw @Reaproy reacted to #EU withdrawal of some #trade preferences #EBA for #Cambodia saying it's not punishment to nation/people. Says it's "government’s failure to act to respect rights & fix problems" that led to this. Urges #PM #HunSen "stop his senseless threats" & negotiate
@ASEANMP also reacted to #EU's latest decision on trade preferences for #Cambodia, calling on #PM #HunSen to act now in respecting #HumanRights in country
#Cambodia calls partial #EU #trade preferences #EBA withdrawal "unjust", that decision is "politically driven & is devoid of objectivity & impartiality". Accuses EU of using trade & development assistance "as pretexts to justify their interference in Cambodia's internal affairs"
