Aug 07, 2008 (LBO) - A Sri Lankan business chamber has said the proposed new trade deal with India would give businesses an opportunity to penetrate the rapidly expanding Indian market and offer protection against trade barriers.

This should take the path of a negotiated entry with a phased out programme of extending the coverage of the agreement from trade in goods to trade in services, it said in a statement.

Obvious sectors that stands to gain are tourism, information technology, maritime and aviation services such as passenger and cargo transport, logistics services, ship and aircraft maintenance and repair services.

The chamber noted that the national carrier, Sri Lankan Airlines has "greatly benefited" by early entry into the Indian market.

The airline is the biggest foreign operator in India.
