HCM City (VNA) - Effectively exploiting the Polish market is one of the ways to help Vietnamesegoods make inroads into the EU market, experts told a workshop held by the Ho ChiMinh City Investment and Trade Promotion Centre (ITPC) on January 28 on the prospects for Vietnam’s exports to the EU throughthe Polish gateway.

According to ITPC Vice Director Tran Phu Lu, Polandis an important and dynamic market in the heart of central Europe, allowing easyaccess to the 500-million-strong EU market.

Poland is the largest market among the new member states of the EU and thesixth largest in the EU. It is currently the 23rd-largest exporterin the world and the 20th-largest importer. This means that goods exportedto Poland have the opportunity to access other markets through transitional exports.

Lu said the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), whichofficially took effect on August 1, 2020, has brought many advantages and opportunitiesto further boost trade between Vietnam and Poland.

Despite COVID-19, Vietnam - Poland trade in 2020 reached over 2.1 billion USD, up17.6 percent against 2019.

Vietnam’s exports to the country were close to 1.77billion USD, a year-on-year rise of 18.4 percent, while it spent 341 million USDon importing goods from the country.

Piotr Harasimowicz, head of the representativeoffice of the Polish Investment and Trade Agency in HCM City, said Vietnamis the 19th-largest exporter of goods to Poland, with major items being computers, electronics and spare parts,garment-textiles, coffee, and footwear.

The elimination of tariffs on Vietnam’s exports to the EU under the EVFTA will helpits goods conquer the Polish market in particular and the EU market in general inthe time ahead, he said.

Dang Thai Thien, from the municipal Department of Customs, noted the need for Vietnamesebusinesses to meet standards in quarantine and food safety, technical barriers,and origin of goods, as well as regulations in the Voluntary Partnership Agreementon Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (VPA/FLEGT) and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Speciesof Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), and those related to illegal, unreported, and unregulated(IUU)fishing if they want to promote exportsto the EU.

In order to fully tap the advantages brought about by the EVFTA and further promoteexports to the EU, businesses need to synchronously carry out solutions relatingto market surveys and the renovation of production to bolster trust among importers,Thien said./.
