Pork and whiskey best placed to benefit from exports to South Korea

The Ireland South MEP sought out expert industry opinion on the Irish products best placed to capitalise on South Korea’s new relaxed approach to trade relations with the EU.

Mr Kelly said: “The EU’s trade deal with South Korea, which came into effect last month, is considered the most ambitious deal ever concluded by the EU. The deal will see trade tariffs eventually slashed by 98.7%. It is expected to boost trade by tens of billions of euro a year between the new trade partners and Ireland’s export industry could also see a welcome boost as a result.”
