The European Commission has proposed agreements with Mercosur and Mexico, aiming to create a large free trade area and eliminate tariffs on EU agri-food exports.

The EU-Mercosur partnership agreement will create the largest free trade area, providing significant export opportunities for the EU and supporting jobs. It will reduce tariffs on industrial and agri-food products, while at the same time protecting the interests of European farmers. The modernized EU-Mexico global agreement will eliminate prohibitive tariffs on EU agri-food exports, facilitating access to the Mexican market. Both agreements reaffirm the commitment to human rights and sustainable development.
