Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee in Washington on Sunday said India has taken up with the US the issue of export control in high-technology trade, and pressed for a number of Indian units to be removed from its restricted Entity List. Speaking to media persons on Indo-U.S. relations, he said that both the countries have come very closer on resolving the issue but export control is an area where much improvement is needed.
