The EU-Mercosul trade agreement includes a quota of 30,000 tonnes of European cheeses per year. The agreement aims to progressively reduce taxes on these products to zero. Uard noted the deal provides protection for 46 French AOP cheese producers. Taxes on these exports will be progressively reduced to zero. The EU-Mercosul trade pact includes protections for 46 French Appellation d'Origine Protégée (AOP) cheeses. Protected varieties mentioned include Comté, Roquefort, Saint-Marcelin, and Bleu de Verne. The agreement also covers 170 French wine and spirit designations, such as Champagne, Bordeaux, Bourgogne, and Cognac. These beverages will be exported without customs duties or quotas because they are not classified as agricultural products. The agreement is currently being challenged in the European Court of Justice. Concerns regarding the deal have been raised in France.
