In January, the European Council empowered the Commission to provisionally apply the EU-Mercosur Agreement as from the first ratification by one Mercosur country. On February 25, Argentina and Uruguay became the first countries to ratify the Agreement. Brazil and Paraguay are expected to follow soon. The Commission will now proceed with provisional application.
The Agreement can only be fully concluded once the European Parliament has given its consent. So the Commission will continue to work closely with all EU institutions, Member States, and stakeholders to ensure a smooth and transparent process.
