00:00A European Parliament committee has voted overwhelmingly to remove import duties on
00:06a range of goods from the United States. This move is aimed at implementing a trade deal
00:12agreed with Washington last year. Under the agreement, the bloc agreed to cut duties on
00:20American industrial goods and expand market access for U.S. farm and seafood products.
00:25In return, the European Union accepted a 15% U.S. tariff on most European goods.
00:31The EU Trade Committee approved the legislation by 31 votes to six, while also backing the
00:38continuation of zero duties on U.S. lobsters. However, the measure still requires approval
00:43by the full EU Assembly next month, though the strong committee support signals it is likely to
00:49pass. The move comes after Trump warned of much higher tariffs if the EU failed to honour
00:55its commitments by July 4. The legislation had faced delays amid tensions over Trump's threats
01:01threats of tariffs linked to Greenland and legal challenges to its global trade policies.
