On 15 October, the Council adopted decisions on the signature of two agreements between the EU and Singapore: a free trade agreement, an investment protection agreement.

The European Union (EU) and ASEAN have agreed to restart the process of establishing a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between them, said Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Saturday (Jul 14).

During the Brexit campaign Singapore was held up by economic liberals as a potential model for Britain’s future.

The EU has in place, or is negotiating, trade agreements with countries and regions around the world.
