Negotiators for the EU-Mercosur free trade agreement are entering a new round of talks, with a meeting scheduled in Uruguay on December 5-6. France is rallying support from Italy, Austria, Poland, and the Netherlands to halt the deal, which has faced opposition due to concerns over its impact on the agricultural sector. Despite a political agreement reached in 2019, the deal lacks unanimous support from EU member states. Germany and Spain support the deal, while several countries express reservations. The outcome of the negotiations remains uncertain as lobbying intensifies ahead of the meeting. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
