Israel backs expanding QIZ products

Israel backs expanding QIZ products: Israeli trade officials expressed their support for including leather-made goods, shoes, and food products as part of the Qualified Industrial Zones (QIZ) agreement between Egypt, the US, and Israel, sources told Amwal Al Ghad. The statements came at a meeting last week in Cairo with US and Egyptian trade officials. Most of Egypt’s exports through the QIZ agreement are textiles and ready-made clothes. Both the US and Egypt have been looking to add new products to the agreement.
