Question for written answer E-000789/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Kathleen Funchion (The Left), Lynn Boylan (The Left)
President Javier Milei of Argentina has in the past suggested that Argentina may exit the Paris Climate Agreement.
A fact sheet[1] on the EU-Mercosur partnership agreement published by the Commission states:
‘In the agreement, the EU and Mercosur commit to effectively implement the Paris Climate Agreement and to cooperate on the climate aspects of trade. Furthermore, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change becomes an “essential element” of the agreement, which means that a party can suspend the agreement if it considers that there is a serious breach of the Paris Agreement or if a party leaves the Paris Agreement.’
Can the Commission confirm that should Argentina exit the Paris Climate Agreement, this would result in the immediate suspension of the EU-Mercosur agreement, as stated in the Commission fact sheet?
