Details

The rapporteur mentioned by way of example some of the objectives of the agreement in question: establishing formal political and economic dialogue between the EP and Mercosur’s Joint Parliamentary Committee, promoting regional cooperation among the Mercosur countries, particularly as regards infrastructures and the environment, ensuring EU cofinancing for projects through the EIB, and providing support for European businesses operating in the region. He did not hide his concerns about the effects of the negotiations on the agricultural aspect, especially in relation to the WTO rules on free trade areas. Commissioner MARTIN pointed out that the framework agreement on regional cooperation for which the Commission was requesting a negotiating mandate was a transitional instrument aimed at establishing a free trade area, which would be achieved in the next century. As far as agricultural liberalisation was concerned, he believed that some concessions would have to be made for sensitive EU products, but he stated that the Commission intended to show the greatest caution in the negotiations. As regards the 1998 deadline suggested by the REX Committee for launching the discussions on the free trade agreement, Mr MARTIN stated that the date should be set in the form of an ‘evolutionary clause’ similar to the Russian or Ukrainian model.
