New Delhi, April 11 -- The European Union has the "political will" to negotiate a Free Trade Agreement with India, according to Jon Simonsson, Senior Director at the Prime Minister's Office in Sweden.

"There's very strong political momentum now in the EU to come forward and really get FTA in place (with India), and with those, I think developments go faster again," Simonsson told ANI on the sidelines of the Carnegie Global Technology Summit.

"There are a lot of commonalities between the EU interests and in Indian interests. I really think we could collaborate more in this area, and the political will is there as well. So to do something here is an evident thing to do," he said.
