"Today, in the USA, on the margins of the G20 Trade Ministers Meeting, we had a productive bilateral meeting with the EU Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security, Mr. Maros Sefcovic. In our meeting before the Turkey-EU High Level Trade Dialogue, which we will hold in Brussels on October 13, we once again confirmed that Turkey and the EU are strategic and multifaceted partners for each other.

We conveyed Türkiye's expectations regarding the Draft Industrial Acceleration Law to the Honorable Commissioner and emphasized the importance of preserving the deep economic integration that our country has with the EU. We also evaluated our expectations for developing our cooperation in the field of e-commerce, advancing our positive agenda on public procurement and preserving the market share of our exporters within the scope of the EU's new steel measures.

"We continue our work with determination to strengthen our Türkiye-EU economic and commercial relations on the basis of mutual interests and to overcome the obstacles to our trade," he said.
