Lawmakers on the European Parliament's Committee on International Trade on Tuesday approved legislation eliminating EU duties on most US industrial goods, paving the way for a final adoption of the EU-US deal in plenary later this month.
The two legislative files which formed the deal were both approved by a large majority: the first one with 31 votes in favour, six against, and three abstentions; the second one with 31 votes in favour, six against, and three abstentions.
The vote comes a week after EU lawmakers and EU capitals already struck a provisional deal to implement the agreement struck last summer by US President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Turnberry, Scotland.
