In the secret room of the 27 EU countries, the vote of the century will change the global trade situation.

XM Foreign Exchange APP News - The European Union plans to push for the final signing of the agreement with the Southern www.centrdom.infomon Market (Mercosur) before Christmas. The Southern www.centrdom.infomon Market (Mercado www.centrdom.infoún del Sur, Mercosur for short) is the most influential regional economic integration organization in South America. It was established on March 26, 1991 and is headquartered in Montevideo, Uruguay. Its core goal is to promote the free flow of goods, services, capital and people among member countries by eliminating trade barriers and coordinating economic policies, thereby promoting regional economic development and social integration. Mercosur accounts for 70% of South America's population and 65% of its GDP, making it the fifth largest economy in the world (based on purchasing power parity). As a resource export-oriented (bloc) regional collaboration organization, it plays a key role in the global food and energy markets and shapes the paradigm of South-South cooperation through multilateral trade agreements. Despite the dual pressures of internal integration and external www.centrdom.infopetition, Mercosur remains the core force in Latin America to safeguard economic sovereignty and promote multipolarity. The trade is a long-distance race, but success may affect the international trade order in the next ten years. The free trade agreement negotiations between the European Union and the Southern www.centrdom.infomon Market (Mercosur) are a "long-distance trade race" that lasted for 25 years: the two sides initially contacted each other in the 1990s, and formally launched negotiations in 1999. The initial focus was on the reduction of tariffs on industrial products. Free access to agricultural products was suspended in 2004 due to differences in non-tariff barriers and environmental standards, and was restarted in 2010 due to the economic recovery needs of both parties. Substantial progress was made after exchanging market access proposals in 2016, and a framework agreement was reached in 2019. However, due to the Brazilian Bolsonaro government’s poor environmental protection and EU requirements,Adding forest protection clauses was put on hold; Lula promoted negotiations after returning to the Brazilian presidency in 2023. In December 2024, the two sides added a "sustainable development" chapter and set up an agricultural product protection mechanism (tariffs can be added when imports surge or prices fall) to resolve differences; in September 2025, the EU adopted the text of the agreement and plans to sign it on December 20, but it still faces opposition from France, Poland and other countries within the EU (worry about South American farmers) products impact local agriculture), as well as Brazil’s environmental protection enforcement on the Mercosur side (illegal logging in the Amazon), and the risks of economic instability in Argentina. The EU’s underlying motivations for promoting the agreement also include checks and balances against China and coping with the risks. As long as EU governments give the green light, European www.centrdom.infomission President Ursula von der Leyen will fly to Brazil on December 20 to sign the long-awaited agreement. BRUSSELS - The European Union is aiming to finalize a major trade deal with Latin America's Mercosur before Christmas, and European www.centrdom.infomission President Ursula von der Leyen plans to fly to Brazil on December 20 to attend the official signing ceremony. But first, she needs an absolute majority of the EU's 27 member states to approve the long-awaited agreement, which will create a free trade area covering a population of 800 million when it www.centrdom.infoes into effect. Two EU officials and an EU diplomat revealed that European Council President António Costa proposed the signing date at a meeting of European leaders last Thursday. Olof Gill, Deputy Chief Spokesperson of the European www.centrdom.infomission, said: "As President von der Leyen said before, we reiterate our www.centrdom.infomitment to sign the agreement before the end of this year, but only if the relevant procedures of the European Council are www.centrdom.infopleted. The core motivation of the EU to fully promote the agreement. The reason why the EU fully promotes the implementation of this agreement stems from the continued changes in its trade relations with China and the United States. , which puts the bloc under urgent pressure to find new trading partners. The Southern www.centrdom.infomon Market (members include Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay) will exempt 91% of EU imports from tariffs and relax import restrictions on passenger cars; at the same time, exports of the bloc's member countries (from beef to ethanol, etc.) will receive better access conditions and thereby benefit from accelerated agreement review. Three EU diplomats revealed that in order to speed up the approval process, the trade and political sections of the agreement are expected to be voted on through a "qualified majority vote" process. This means that the agreement needs to be supported by 15 of the 27 EU member states, and the population of these countries must account for at least 65% of the EU's total population. The initial expectation is that the partnership agreement will require unanimous support from member states - generally, agreements involving investment, political cooperation and other areas of member state sovereignty require unanimous approval. Two other diplomats said that a final date for the agreement to be approved by each country's ambassadors has not yet been determined, consistent with other sources mentioned in this article, the two diplomats asked for discussion of the sensitive process.anonymous. There are differences among the signatories of the agreement. Brussels proposed a www.centrdom.infopromise plan to dispel the concerns of France, Poland, Italy and other countries that "the agreement will harm the interests of their own agricultural practitioners." According to the plan, the EU executive agency promises to monitor the import of sensitive www.centrdom.infomodities such as beef, poultry, and eggs; if import volumes surge or prices plummet to disrupt the local agricultural market, additional tariffs will be imposed on related www.centrdom.infomodities. This additional safeguard instrument (safeguard instrument) requires the support of both the European Council (Council of the EU) and the European Parliament (European Parliament). Bernd Lange, chairman of the European Parliament's trade www.centrdom.infomittee, told EU ministers earlier this month that lawmakers would approve the safeguard mechanism regulations through simplified procedures without the need for a plenary vote. All officials and diplomats emphasized that there are still variables in the current timetable and that adjustments may be made in the future. The signing of the agreement has a negative impact on the euro. In the short term, the expectation of the signing of the agreement may promote the appreciation of the euro, but opposition from France and Poland and pressure on agricultural product imports may limit the increase; in the medium to long term, if the agreement is successfully implemented, the EU's expansion of industrial product exports to Mercosur and diversification of resource imports will enhance the economic resilience of the euro zone, but agricultural shocks and environmental disputes are still potential risks. Based on www.centrdom.infoprehensive judgment, the exchange rate of the euro against the US dollar may fluctuate by 1-2% before and after the signing of the agreement in December. At the same time, because the euro accounts for Thanks for the support!
