By: A trade deal negotiated between the European Union and the Mercosur countries of South America is still not acceptable for France in its current form, Reuters reported, citing a government spokesperson on Wednesday.
France expects the European Commission to present measures on so-called mirror clauses for agricultural imports “at the earliest opportunity,” the government spokesperson said, after the weekly cabinet meeting chaired by President Emmanuel Macron.
