[FR] Euroquestions #103 | The impact of the EU-Mercosur agreement in a tense geopolitical context

The signing of the EU-Mercosur trade agreement comes at a time of great international instability, calling for rapid diversification of trade and securing strategic supplies. Given China’s recent heavy investment in Latin America and the protectionist shift in the United States, what impact will the agreement have once it is ratified? What commitments have been made, what are the offensive interests and what precautions are being taken to protect sensitive European industries? What are the next steps for its ratification? What is the position of Europe’s neighbours and how is the debate evolving in France?

We are pleased to welcome Elvire Fabry, senior researcher in trade geopolitics and author of the recent infographic ‘The EU-Mercosur trade agreement at a time of trade diversification’, to analyse these issues.
