Trade negotiations
Dear Mr Klitz,
We are in advanced stage of negotiations for a free trade agreement with Mexico and Mercosur (Brazil,
Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay). Obviously cars and car parts are an important part of the
agreements. VW is a big player in both regions and I would like to hear your views and expectations for
these negotiations. I have been in touch with ACEA and I would like to complement my understanding
with your own views.
I would appreciate your time for a meeting or call at your best convenience.
Best regards,
Miguel Ceballos Baron
Deputy Head of Cabinet of Cecilia Malmstrom
European Commissioner for Trade
