UK & India agree details for new agreement

The UK and Indian governments have said they have finished the necessary negotiations to enable the long-touted UK-India film co-production agreement to come into force.

The treaty will let UK and Indian film-makers co-produce films that will be eligible for national status in both countries.

The main aspects of the UK-India co-production treaty were first signed in late 2005.

Now, details have been completed by officials and the treaty will come into force "shortly" after constitutional procedures in both countries.
