The Austrian Federal Chamber of Labour (AK) has for years supported the motion of only granting special preferences within the scope of the Scheme of Generalised Tariff Preferences (GSP+) if the relevant conditions have been met.

As things stand now, AK opposes the currently discussed inclusion of Pakistan in the GSP+.
