Subject: Mercosur negotiations and rules of origin 
 
Dear 
,  
 


First of all my best wishes for 2018! 
 
We met last year regarding the on-going negotiations between the EU and Mercosur 
on a Free Trade Agreement, more in particular regarding Rules of Origin (tobacco 
products).  
 
According to press reports, the discussions will continue this year. In light of this I was 
wondering whether it would be possible to provide any information on the current state 
of play? Has any progress been made with regards to Rules of Origin for tobacco 
products?  
 
Many thanks in advance for your feedback. 
 
Kind regards,
