EU Commission Weekly Meeting Readout - Brussels

EU Commissioner for Interinstitutional Relations and Transparency Maros Sefcovic talk sto media in the Berlaymont, the EU Commission headquarter on September 3, 2025 in Brussels, Belgium. Today, the European Commission is preparing to approve a trade agreement with Latin American Mercosur countries, in a bid to convince Paris and reassure farmers. Adoption by European Commissioners is the first step before submitting this free trade agreement to Member States and Members of the European Parliament in the coming months. In particular, the agreement should allow the European Union to export more cars, machinery, and alcohol to Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay. In return, it would facilitate imports of South American meat, sugar, rice, honey, and soybeans, which would risk undermining some European agricultural sectors.
