Your Excellencies,
With a view to having a transparent and accountable trade policy based on consultations
with European civil society, DG Trade holds a Civil Society Dialogue consisting in
regular, structured meetings to discuss trade policy issues, including ongoing trade
negotiations.
An update on the state of play of the negotiations of the EU-MERCOSUR trade
agreement is scheduled to take place on 6 September 2017 from 10:30 to 13:30 in Centre
Albert Borschette. It is my pleasure to invite you, the Trade Chief Negotiators of
MERCOSUR, to join me and participate as speakers in this event.
This will be a unique opportunity for the European civil society to be able to hear directly
the views of MERCOSUR and be reassured of your commitment to a successful
conclusion of an agreement which is based on shared values and interests.
I would be grateful if you could confirm your attendance to our functional mail box at
before the 28 August 2017.
I look forward to your attendance and to a fruitful exchange.
Sandra GALLINA
