Texts of the agreement

Disclaimer: On 29 June 2019, the European Union and Mercosur countries (Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay) concluded negotiations for trade components of the agreement. This was complemented in July 2020 by the conclusion of negotiations of the political and cooperation components of the deal. On 6 December 2024, the EU and Mercosur reached a political agreement on an improved EU-Mercosur Partnership Agreement.

In view of the Commission's transparency policy and of growing public interest in trade negotiations, the Commission is publishing the texts related to the trade-related components of the EU-Mercosur Partnership Agreement. These encompass the texts agreed in June 2019, as well as the improved and additional elements resulting from negotiations between March 2023 and December 2024.

In order to provide further transparency to the 2024 negotiated outcome as compared to 2019, the Commission is also publishing an explanatory document of those elements, complementing the 2019 summary of the agreement in principle.

The negotiated texts are published for information purposes only and may undergo further modifications, including as a result of the process of legal revision. These texts are without prejudice to the final outcome of the agreement between the EU and Mercosur.

The texts will be final upon signature. The agreement will become binding on the parties under international law only after completion by each party of its internal legal procedures necessary for the entry into force of the agreement (or its provisional application).
