The president’s spokesman, Otávio Rêgo Barros, said there is no reason for a commercial agreement between Mercosur and the European Union (EU) not to be approved by its member countries.
Foreign ministers from Mercosur country members (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay, as Venezuela has been temporarily suspended) announced Thursday (Dec. 6) a new round of talks will be held between the bloc and the European Union (EU) on a possible free trade deal.
