EU says hopes to sign Mercosur trade deal 'soon'
The European Union said Monday that member states had made "progress" towards approving the bloc's trade deal with the South American bloc Mercosur and that it hoped to sign the agreement "soon".
Diplomats have said the EU aims for a signature on January 12. European Commission chief spokeswoman Paula Pinho did not confirm the date but insisted the EU was on the "right track" to get the deal over the line in the near future.
