"Negotiations" on Mercosur "continue and attention is paid to ensuring that the agreement achieves the EU sustainability objectives, respecting the sensitivities of the agricultural sector", says Valdis Dombrovskis, vice-president of the EU Commission. "The conditions for concluding the agreement have not yet been met", he adds.

"Macron, Scholz and Sanchez supported the agreement" and Brussels "is negotiating on the basis of the mandate of the Twenty-Seven"
