Goyal says EU can learn from India on cutting red tape
In short
Piyush Goyal spoke at the India-Netherlands Business Forum and said India has shown how to cut red tape for businesses. The Dutch minister said some rules are needed, but others that block trade should be reviewed.
This matters because both sides are talking about trade and regulation. The report does not say any new policy was announced.
