EU-Mercosur: Council greenlights signature of the comprehensive partnership and trade agreement
The Council today adopted two decisions authorising the signature of the EU-Mercosur Partnership Agreement (EMPA) and of the Interim Trade Agreement (iTA) between the EU and Mercosur.
"After over 25 years, today’s decisions mark a historic step forward in strengthening the EU’s strategic partnership with Mercosur. At a time of growing global uncertainty, it is essential that we reinforce our political cooperation, deepen our economic ties and uphold our shared commitment to sustainable development. These agreements will create new opportunities for businesses on both sides, while ensuring robust safeguards for our most sensitive sectors and a fair, sustainable framework for trade."
