The European Commission believes that "the conditions" for reaching a trade agreement with Mercosur "are not met".
A spokesperson for the EU executive said this during the daily press briefing.
Negotiations with the Mercosur countries "continue" and "the EU continues to pursue its objective of reaching an agreement that respects the EU's sustainability objectives and respects our sensitivities in the agricultural sector", added the spokesperson.
