EU-Mercosur Free Trade Deal Takes Effect: Brussels Wins, Paris Loses

On May 1, 2026, the long-awaited EU-Mercosur free trade agreement provisionally entered into force, creating one of the world's largest trading blocs covering 720 million consumers. The deal, 25 years in the making, eliminates tariffs on over 90% of trade.
