GSP+ monitoring mechanism and scorecards

This procedure concerns the monitoring of the Generalised Scheme of Tariff Preferences Plus (GSP+). It establishes a mechanism to assess how beneficiary countries implement international conventions required for GSP+ status, using scorecards to track progress and compliance.

This affects countries benefiting from preferential trade arrangements with the EU. It aims to ensure these countries uphold commitments on human rights, labour, and environment, impacting trade relations and development cooperation.
