  "summary": "The European Commission has asked EU member states for approval to sign and conclude its landmark Free Trade Agreement with India, a deal that would eliminate or reduce tariffs on 96% of EU goods exports and save exporters an estimated €4 billion a year. Once cleared by the Council, the pact still needs European Parliament consent and India's own ratification before it can enter into force.",
