European Parliament representatives met with Geraldo Alckmin at the Planalto Palace to discuss next steps for the Mercosur-European Union trade agreement. The agreement entered into force last week on a provisional basis, but still needs to undergo analysis by the EU Court of Justice.
The trade agreement between Mercosur and the European Union was signed in late January in Asunción, Paraguay, creating one of the world's largest free trade areas. The treaty's implementation is provisional by decision of the European Commission, but the European Parliament has sent the text for analysis by the EU Court of Justice, which will evaluate its legal compatibility with the bloc's regulations.
