"We have reached the point of making decisions," Spanish Trade Minister Hector Gomez told Reuters on the eve of the meeting. "We need more time to have this agreement to be sure that we can respond to the Mercosur questions and so that we can have guarantee on the environmental standards that we need. It is important that we take the time," French Trade Minister Olivier Becht told reporters on Friday before entering the EU meeting.
"Negotiations are weekly... the dialogue is permanent", said Gomez, who saw it as a positive that the main text of the treaty had not been reopened for revision and that only the so-called"additional instrument" is being discussed.
