A number of bilateral issues, including the Indian exports of sugar, Basmati rice, mushrooms and fisheries products were discussed at the meeting.
“India and the EC are major players in the WTO agricultural negotiations, so a better understanding of our respective positions can only contribute to making the ongoing WTO negotiations on agriculture a success,” Fischler said.
