EU Neighbours Seal Major Mercosur Trade Deal as Brussels Watches Closely

Countries neighboring the European Union have reached an important trade agreement with Mercosur, a South American trade bloc. The deal will eliminate or lower tariffs on almost all trade goods. This includes key agricultural products like Brazilian poultry, Argentinian beef, and Norwegian salmon. The agreement aims to boost trade between these regions by making it easier and cheaper to buy and sell goods.

The move comes as the European Union itself has yet to finalize a similar trade deal with Mercosur. The neighboring countries’ agreement could influence Brussels’ decision on whether to push forward with its own deal. By reducing duties, businesses in the involved countries can expect to increase exports and imports, benefiting consumers and producers alike.

Key Aspects of the Trade Deal

• Elimination or reduction of tariffs on almost all trade goods
• Inclusion of significant agricultural products such as:
  • Brazilian poultry
  • Argentinian beef
  • Norwegian salmon
• Coverage of industrial goods and services beyond agriculture
• Expectations of increased trade and economic growth for involved countries

Trade experts view this development as a significant step in strengthening economic ties between Europe and South America. The broad economic impact is expected to enhance cooperation and growth across multiple sectors.
