The additional secretary of the Ministry of Commerce L Satya Srinivas announced on Monday that the European Commission delegation will arrive in India on February 28, before official talks.
In a related development, the United Kingdom Minister state for trade policy Douglas Alexander will visit India for a meeting with trade and industry Minister Piyush Goyal on February 24.
