Summary: | On 6 December, in Montevideo, the president of the European Commission (EC) and the leaders of four Mercosur members - Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay - announced the conclusion of negotiations on the EU-Mercosur Partnership Agreement. Several years of disputes over the trade part of the document, negotiated in June 2019, preceded the decision. The strong opposition in France, the Netherlands, and Poland, among others, to the new version of the agreement - mainly to the scope of agri-food access to the EU market - did not prevent the finalisation of talks but could pose a significant obstacle to the ratification of the agreement in the EU. |
