For Bangladesh to be eligible for GSP Plus facilities in the EU market after the country graduates in 2026, Charles Whiteley, the head of the European Union’s delegation to Bangladesh, has emphasized that the country must actively implement the 32 international conventions about the environment, labour, and human rights.
According to media reports, Ambassador Whiteley stressed during a seminar on due diligence laws hosted by the International Business Forum of Bangladesh that the EU’s due diligence laws address global issues like child labour and climate change in addition to buyers and suppliers.
As per Whiteley’s statement, the legislation aims to tackle issues such as child labour, slavery, labour exploitation, pollution, excessive water consumption, and ecosystem damage. However, he also emphasized that Bangladesh, which wants to remain a developing country after emerging from the LDC category in 2026, needs to fulfil certain requirements.
Whiteley reportedly emphasized that adherence to due diligence laws would not be a singular issue but rather a critical component in gaining access to the EU’s generalized scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP Plus) market, even as she acknowledged Bangladesh’s notable advancements in several areas.
According to reports, he made it clear that adhering to a long list of 32 agreements about labour, human rights, the environment, and other topics is necessary to become eligible for GSP Plus, stressing that implementation, not just ratification, is essential.
