SYRIA-EU BIO-BASED OILS AND FATS TRADE TO BENEFIT FROM FREE TRADE DEAL
BY PAUL COCHRANE and KEITH NUTHALL
SYRIA is such a staple of Middle East political turmoil, it is easy to forget that it is a near neighbour of Europe: less than 200 miles of sea separate it from Cyprus and it borders Turkey, which could be a European Union (EU) member by 2020.…
