The Art of Controlled Openness in India–EU Trade

EuroScope @ Global Eye Intelligence presents a sharp, legally grounded, and geopolitically relevant policy brief on one of the most sensitive yet decisive chapters of the India–EU Free Trade Agreement: trade remedies. The Art of Controlled Openness explains how anti-dumping duties, countervailing measures, and safeguard instruments function as the hidden shock absorbers of free trade—allowing liberalisation without destabilising domestic industries.

This report unpacks why trade remedies remain unresolved despite progress in other FTA chapters, and why both India and the EU insist on preserving sovereign discretion while demanding greater transparency and predictability. It analyses India’s proactive use of anti-dumping tools through DGTR, Europe’s evolving Trade Defence Instruments, and the growing China factor shaping convergence between New Delhi and Brussels. Key issues such as bilateral safeguards, public-interest tests, investigation timelines, and dispute-settlement design are examined through comparative global precedents.

For policymakers, exporters, manufacturers, legal professionals, investors, and trade strategists, this brief offers critical foresight into how protection and partnership can coexist in high-stakes trade architecture.
