    EU-Mercosur Trade Agreement to Take Effect on May 1

    admin • 2:24 pm

    The European Commission announced that the EU-Mercosur trade agreement will enter into provisional effect on May 1, following Paraguay’s recent ratification.

    The agreement aims to establish one of the world’s largest free trade zones by eliminating most tariffs on both sides. Although the European Parliament has submitted the agreement for legal review by the European Court of Justice, which may take several months, provisional implementation has been authorized. Formal ratification by the European Parliament remains pending.
