                    [Summary] => Trade Undersecretary Thomas Aquino said yesterday that the Philippines  will be satisfied with a  tariff level of "close to zero"  for  its tuna exports to the European Union.


"A tariff of 12 percent will be too far, while two percent will be close to zero," Aquino said.


Philippine canned tuna exports to EU countries currently face a stiff 24 percent tariff as against tuna  from Africa, the Carribbean and Pacific countries  which enjoy duty-free entry into the EU market.
