On the occasion of their bilateral summit held in June 2015, the European Union (EU) and Mexico agreed to renegotiate the Global Agreement in force since 2000. The main pillar of this bilateral treaty is a free trade agreement (FTA) due to be ‘modernized’ by way of the renegotiation. A new study published by Brot für die Welt, Misereor and FDCL addresses the potential social, environmental and human rights impacts that ‘modernization’ of the EU-Mexico FTA could cause. It also assesses the outcomes that the Global Agreement has produced so far.
