Contrapesos del acuerdo entre Mercosur y la Unión Europea: cuál parte gana más con este tratado comercial

TL;DR

  • The EU-Mercosur free trade agreement will create a market of 720 million people by reducing or eliminating 90% of tariffs.
  • Brazil is projected to be the biggest beneficiary, with its GDP increasing by 0.46% by 2040, while other Mercosur countries see a 0.20% rise and the EU a 0.06% increase.
  • Mercosur's agricultural sector is expected to benefit, especially in fruits, fish, and coffee, though the EU has implemented safeguards for products like meat and sugar.
  • The EU's industrial sector, including machinery, electronics, vehicles, and pharmaceuticals, will see increased access to Mercosur markets, with gradual tariff reductions over extended periods for some products.
  • The agreement aims to facilitate investment in critical minerals and rare earths, reducing the EU's reliance on China.
  • This deal is the largest negotiated by Mercosur and one of the EU's most ambitious, seen as a response to global protectionist trends.
  • Bolivia, nearing full Mercosur membership, will need to negotiate separately to join the EU trade agreement.
