France Requests Delay: France has requested a postponement of the EU vote on the Mercosur free-trade agreement due to concerns over inadequate protections for European agriculture.
Pending Approval: The trade deal was set for final approval in Brussels, but the European Parliament has not ratified proposed safeguards, leading to uncertainty about their effectiveness.
Postponement Timeline: French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu is advocating for a delay until early 2026, which could jeopardize the agreement if not signed by the end of the year.
Opposition from Other States: There is opposition from Poland and Hungary regarding the deal, but blocking it would require additional support from other member states like Italy.
