Collective effort. Strong result. Meaningful impact.

After >5h of negotiations, I welcome a successful trilogue fully aligned with the 🇪🇺🇺🇸 Joint Statement.

The EU walks the talk, while defending our interests. Once approved, it'll boost transatlantic stability and cooperation.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Today, the EU-Mercosur agreement begins to apply provisionally.

The benefits are real and visible as of now.

Tariffs start falling.

Companies are gaining access to new markets.

Investors have the predictability they need.

Provisional application will show the agreement’s tangible benefits.

And how legitimate sensivities have been adressed.

Giving @Europarl_EN and Member States the fullest evidence-based picture to carry out their democratic oversight.

[Maroš Šefčovič🇪🇺 @MarosSefcovic]

The U.S. has chosen unjustified tariffs, leaving us with no choice but to respond.

👉 The currently suspended EU's rebalancing measures will return on 1 April.
👉 We'll proceed to a new set of EU countermeasures.

The disruption is avoidable. We're ready to negotiate.

As part of the EU-Mercosur agreement, it ensures the 🇪🇺 can protect its citizens' health.

We remain fully independent in regulating new standards in the interest of EU citizens' health.
