Synopsis

The EU and Mexico will begin negotiations this year to reach a free trade agreement, reported CNN Expansión on 12 May, 2015.

Based on a pact signed with Mexico in 2000, the EU hopes to establish a transatlantic free trade zone, as well as global trade rules before China does.

The trade commissioner for the EU, Cecilia Malmstrom, explained the EU is willing to reach an ambitious agreement. The declarations were made during a forum in Brussels attended by Mexico's finance minister, Ildefonso Guajardo.

EU officials are expected to discuss the issue further during an EU-Latin America summit to be held in Brussels on 12 June. Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto is expected to attend.

For the EU, a new treaty with Mexico would further expand access for companies from both markets to bid in public tenders of each territory.

La Unión Europea y México comenzarán a negociar este año para lograr un acuerdo de libre comercio, ha publicado CNN Expansión el 12 de mayo de 2015.

Basándose en un pacto que hizo con México en 2000, la UE espera establecer una zona transatlántica de libre comercio, al igual que reglas comerciales globales antes de que China lo haga.

La comisionada de Comercio de la UE, Cecilia Malmstrom, explicó que la UE está preparada para comprometerse a un acuerdo ambicioso. Hizo las declaraciones en un foro en Bruselas al que asistió el ministro de economía mexicano, Ildefonso Guajardo.

Se espera que funcionarios de la UE discutan el tema en mayor profundidad durante una cumbre de la UE y América Latina en Bruselas el 12 de junio, a la que asistiría el presidente mexicano, Enrique Peña Nieto.

Para la UE, un nuevo tratado con México podría expandir aún más el acceso de las empresas de ambos mercados a licitaciones públicas de cada territorio.
