The EU and Mexico agreed to expand their trade ties Friday against the backdrop of a more protectionist United States under President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

From agave syrup to raw materials: EU, Mexico agree trade expansion<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Trade between Mexico and the EU is worth some 100 billion euros , but Brussels says the updated trade agreement will boost this further.<\/p>\n

The EU is Mexico’s third largest trading partner, while Mexico is the bloc’s second biggest trading partner in Latin America after Brazil.<\/p>\n

Brussels said the update to the pact would make it easier for the “likeminded partners” to export and invest in each other’s markets.<\/p>\n

– Food and drink –<\/p>\n

The EU said European farmers would benefit since Mexico is a net food importer, and there are limits on how much Mexico can export sensitive goods.<\/p>\n

For example, the EU will limit imports of Mexican beef, with a quota of 5,000 tonnes of the meat allowed in with a preferential tariff rate of 7.5 percent.<\/p>\n

Brussels wants to avoid upsetting farmers after a fierce fight over the trade agreement between the EU and the South American Mercosur bloc.<\/p>\n

Mexico also agreed to recognise hundreds of food and drink products from specific regions of the EU, such as Parma ham and Roquefort cheese.<\/p>\n

And it will lower tariffs on more products, and give duty-free access to pasta, chocolate, potatoes, canned peaches, eggs and certain poultry products.<\/p>\n

In exchange, the EU will give access to Mexico to the bloc’s market for products like coffee, fruits, chocolates and agave syrup.<\/p>\n

– Critical raw materials –<\/p>\n

For Brussels, the update means European companies will have greater access to the Mexican market and can bid for more public contracts.<\/p>\n

The agreement also means EU firms will find it easier to export machinery, pharmaceuticals and transport equipment, Brussels said.<\/p>\n

The EU hopes the deal will mean better supply of critical raw materials from Mexico, already a top supplier to the bloc. The deal bans EU importers from paying a different price to Mexican buyers for critical raw materials.<\/p>\n

The EU has been scrambling to diversify its supply of critical raw materials, as it seeks to cut its dependence on the elements from China.<\/p>\n

And the agreement will facilitate European firms to ship auto parts to Mexico through the recognition of European certifications and international standards.<\/p>\n

But Brussels insisted it would not allow Chinese manufacturers to use Mexico to export vehicles produced in China to Europe.<\/p>\n
