L'année après le titre, c'est défaite en huitième contre Manchester.

Et deux ans après, victoire contre l'Inter en huitième et défaite.

Oui, Bruges, c'est vraiment une belle ville.

Good morning, Ana.

Good morning, Nelson.

Good morning.

That's it, right?

The signing of the trade agreement between Mercosur and the European Union is scheduled for next Saturday, 17th, in Assumpção, Paraguay, a country that currently occupies the rotating presidency of the South American bloc.

The expectation of the Brazilian government

is that the treaty is still in force this year and the forecast was reinforced by the Vice President of the Republic, Geraldo Alckmin, who highlighted the potential of the agreement to boost investments and generate jobs in Brazil

especially from the expansion of access to one of the largest consumer markets in the world.

After more than 25 years of negotiations, the agreement was approved this Friday by the Council of the European Union.

The treaty establishes the bases of the largest free trade zone on the planet, bringing together countries that together take about 700 million inhabitants.

The implementation, however, will be gradual and the economic effects should be consolidated over several years.

According to the terms of the agreement, if it is effectively ratified, about 92% of everything that Brazil exports to Europe will have a practically zero rate and a term of up to 10 years.

The most benefited sector tends to be agribusiness, which in 2025

brought approximately US$ 23 billion to the European market.

Of this total, about half corresponds to the sale of coffee and soy.

Products such as cellulose, chicken and bovine meat also appear among the main Brazilian items, with greater competitiveness on the European continent.

Despite the advance, the treaty still faces resistance within Europe, especially from farmers and environmentalist groups, which point to risks related to agricultural competition and climate impacts.
