EU-Mercosur Trade Agreement finally becomes a reality

"The provisional application of the interim Trade Agreement will help showcase the value of the EU-Mercosur deal in practice by easing high tariffs, reducing red tape, securing access to critical minerals, and supporting the development of more diversified value chains", said our Director General, Markus J. Beyrer.

This milestone opens a new chapter in the relationship between the EU and the Mercosur countries, which have demonstrated their willingness to collaborate and engage in open and rules-based trade with reliable partners at a time of increasing protectionism, geopolitical turmoil, and rising costs.

It is now up to companies to take full advantage of the opportunities created by the agreement, showing the benefits of closer trade and investment ties between the two regions.
