Romania has voted in favour of the European Union’s trade agreement with the Mercosur bloc, comprising Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, after additional safeguards for Romanian and European producers were negotiated, president Nicuşor Dan announced on January 9, according to Agerpres.
Dan said the agreement was supported after Romania, together with other EU member states, secured concessions aimed at protecting sensitive sectors, particularly agriculture.
