Change of Classification of 'Creamed Coconuts'
On 12th May 2017, the EU reclassified 'creamed coconuts', generally intended for use in the kitchen in the preparation of
sauces and other foodstuff. The EU classified the product under CN Code 20081990 ruling it out from chapter 8 because of
pasteurization. Later 'pasteurization' was replaced by 'moderate heat treatment' and hence the change of classification is
deleted. The original classification of the product under heading 0801 shall be considered. The regulation shall enter into
force on 1st June 2017.

Research on Positives and Negatives of Globalization

On 10th May 2017, the EU Commission released a white paper discussing the benefits and negatives of globalization, and how
the EU can better harness the positive aspects of international trade. Globalization has lifted hundreds of millions of people
out of poverty and helped poorer countries to prosper, due to the increased free access to markets and cooperation in
science and innovation. The challenges however, are that Europeans are concerned globalisation leads to inequality, job
losses, social injustice, or lowering environmental, health or privacy standards.

On 8th May 2017, the EU released statements from the EU Commissioner for Trade Malmström during her trip to Mexico. The
Commissioner visited several European factories and met with Mexican government officials. The Commissioner released the
goal of having a trade deal concluded by year's end. The new deal will simplify administrative burdens, cut red tape, boost
growth and competitiveness, widen consumer choice and create jobs on both sides.
