Introduction

The 1 May date is a projected operational target, but the EU–Mercosur tariff preferences only become legally applicable after European Parliament consent and formal entry into force. Until then, TRQ access and preferential import treatment cannot be guaranteed. This requires: 

  • European Parliament consent 
  • ​Council approval 
  • ​Completion of legal-linguistic finalisation 
  • ​Publication in Official Journal 
  • ​Entry-into-force clause triggered
