PSTA නිසා GSP අනතුරේ – ඇඟලු‍ම් නිෂ්පාදකයන්ගේ ඒකාබද්ධ සංගමය (JAAF)

WhatNews reports that the Joint Apparel Association Forum (JAAF), representing apparel manufacturers, issued a statement warning that Sri Lanka could lose access to international concessions because of the proposed Protection of the State from Terrorism Bill (PSTA).

WhatNews identifies the affected benefits as international tax concessions in its introductory text, while its headline refers to GSP, the trade-preference scheme. The report’s available excerpt does not provide further details about the bill, the specific eligibility concerns, or any government response.

WhatNews places the debate in the context of the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA), saying the law was introduced in 1979 as a temporary measure. The supplied report ends before explaining how JAAF compares the proposed bill with the existing law or describing any next steps.
