<p>We welcome the news of political conclusion between the EU and Mercosur on a Free
Trade Agreement. As a global champion of trade, the UK has been a strong advocate
for these negotiations. The UK has longstanding positive bilateral relationships with
individual Mercosur countries and we look forward to deepening our trading ties as
we leave the EU. We will be working with our Mercosur partners to develop our future
trade relationship in due course.</p><p> </p><p>The EU-Mercosur agreement contains
a number of ambitious provisions on promoting sustainable development. As we leave
the EU, and in line with our international obligations, the Government will continue
to ensure a high level of protection of the environment and employees in new trade
agreements.</p>
