The EU aims to protect its digital regulations, causing delays in a US trade statement, as reported by the Financial Times.
(Reuters) -The European Union is trying to prevent the United States from targeting the bloc's digital rules as both sides work through the final details of a delayed statement to formalise a trade deal reached last month, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.
EU officials said disagreements over language relating to "non-tariff barriers", which the U.S. said include the digital rules, are among the reasons for the hold-up of the statement, the newspaper said.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
