EU-Mercosur Trade Deal Finalised After Decades of Talks

The European Union signed a long-awaited free-trade agreement with the Mercosur bloc, covering 700 million people and boosting access between Europe and South America markets. (EU countries, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay)

The trade deal — backed by EU leaders in Paraguay — aims to reduce tariffs on goods like automobiles, agricultural products, and industrial inputs between Mercosur nations and the EU. Many EU member states, including France, Germany and Spain, are watching ratification debates closely as exporters anticipate expanded market access and competitive pressure. This pact could reshape cross-border property investments and supply chains for European manufacturing and logistics.
