In 2015, the European Commission carried out a consultation regarding the Impact Assessment accompanying its recommendation to launch negotiations for updating the EU-Mexico free trade agreement (FTA).
The negotiations were then formally launched in June 2016 and the Commission has now decided to invite interested parties to share their views on what they consider key aspects to be addressed through the modernisation of the FTA.
It is particularly interested in collecting practical experience from companies of doing business with Mexico.
The consultation details can be found atec.europa.euand the deadline for submitting comments is 25 January 2017.
To facilitate the treatment of the information collected, the consultation includes a questionnaire structured according to the different chapters that are currently under negotiation with Mexico.
While responding firms are invited to structure their reply accordingly, using the online form, they also have the opportunity to add additional points which they think the Commission should address.
More information about EU-Mexico Trade relations, including information about the rules and requirements affecting both imports and exports, can be found atec.europa.eu.
