Camila Villard Duran, you are a law professor at ESSCA School of Management, and as a lawyer, you would like to take the defence of a not very popular “suspect”.
Yes, I would like to speak in defence of the trade agreement between the European Union and Mercosur.
You realise that many European farmers are protesting against such an agreement right now!
I am aware of this resistance and can understand it. The simple fact that the trade negotiations with Mercosur have been going on since 1999 exemplifies the complexities and challenges inherent in forging international trade pacts among blocs with diverging interests.
