Negotiations with Europe: Under what conditions could the Mercosur-EU agreement be closed?. The French consider that there is unfair competition within Europe, which would worsen if free trade is allowed.

While France pays attention to agricultural issues, Germany is interested in the pharmaceutical, automotive, and aeronautical industries. For its part, Uruguay, a country whose agricultural production represents the majority of its exports, calls for releasing European trade obstacles. Then the pact is closed when we are in a win-win situation (everyone wins), which of course is what is desired for the parties.
