The EU and Mexico announced Tuesday that they have concluded a trade agreement four years in the making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile most of our efforts have been focused lately on tackling the Coronavirus crisis, we have also been working to advance our open and fair trade agenda,\u201d said EU Commissioner for Trade Phil Hogan, who announced the agreement\u2019s conclusion. \u201cI am very pleased, therefore, that together with our Mexican partners, we share similar views and that our continued work could now come to fruition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mexico is the EU\u2019s second-largest trading partner in Latin America, after Brazil, and is responsible for \u20ac66 billion in products and services each year. Furthermore, 400,000 Mexican employees are employed by European firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most prominent feature of the new trade agreement, explains a European Commission memo, is the removal of import customs and duties between Mexico and EU member states. These new provisions enable the agreement to replace the 1997 EU-Mexico Trade Agreement. The new agreement removes many commodities tariffs such as those that apply to milk, cheese and pork. Additionally, the new agreement reinforces hygiene standards, institutes new trademark protections and focuses especially on fair trade conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday\u2019s agreement is clear evidence of our shared commitment to advance our agenda of partnership and cooperation,\u201d said Hogan. \u201cThis agreement\u2014once in force\u2014will help both the EU and Mexico to support our respective economies and boost employment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
