Brussels, Dhu-AlQa'dah 17, 1435, Sep 12, 2014, SPA -- The European Union and Ukraine are delaying the introduction of a much-touted free trade deal until the end of 2015, says EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht, following concerns from Moscow that the agreement will have negative repercussions, dpa reported. "This is part and parcel of the comprehensive peace process in Ukraine," De Gucht says. In the meantime, the EU will continue to unilaterally waive all import duties on Ukrainian goods, in light of the "very difficult economic situation" in Ukraine, De Gucht says. -- SPA 19:28 LOCAL TIME 16:28 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
