00:00There is a Mercosurian-European agreement. When you see the video or some photo,

00:04the faces of well-known presidents appear. Our president is Javier Milet,

00:09Lula, the Calle Pau of Uruguay, the tallest one is Santiago Peña,

00:12the president of the Paraguayan Republic.

00:15And the blonde lady is Ursula von der Leyen,

00:19who is president of the European Commission.

00:21President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.

00:25She said, it's a historical milestone.

00:28The truth is that it is the largest free trade agreement in the world,

00:32considering the amount of population of each of the blocks.

00:36What will it mean in the day-to-day?

00:37There is a free trade agreement between Mercosur and the European Union.

00:41Well, what does it mean in the day-to-day, in trade, for the PYME, for the importer, for everything?

00:46Well, let's see, the fine detail is yet to be known.

00:49What I can tell you is that Europe needs our energy.

00:53But how the energy, if we are far away,

00:55if from here to there you have to cross the entire Atlantic Ocean.

00:58Well, the fact that Russia has cut gas shipments,

01:02because gas passes through Ukraine, has complicated the situation in Europe.

01:05For example, there are German factories that are working on coal,

01:09when they always worked on gas, which is a more efficient,

01:13cleaner, even more economical energy at a certain point.

01:17And now, well, an important scenario opens up with respect to energy export,

01:20for example, of GNL.

01:22It will be an important item, it will be energy, energy export, and for Mercosur.

01:26Yes, exactly, and let's see what we can buy from Europe.

01:29Foods, I don't know, because they are much more expensive in Europe than here,

01:33or at least it is more expensive to produce them.

01:36We will finally see what the fine detail is.

01:38For me, the important fact is that,

01:41remember that recently there was a meeting of the G20 in Brazil,

01:45and that two presidents of European countries landed in the Argentine Republic.

01:49Giorgia Meloni from Italy and Emmanuel Macron from France.

01:53Some people were left with the anecdotal fact that Meloni was on the political line of my law.

01:58The fact is that, for me, the substantial economic data is that Macron came to oppose this agreement.

02:04That is, the president of the French Republic,

02:07which is one of the most important countries, of course, of the European Economic Union,

02:13came to oppose this agreement, came to say that he was the truth,

02:16that he did not agree, that it did not seem to him, that it was not favorable for France.

02:21However, despite Macron's opposition, the Mercosur-EU agreement was signed.

02:27The fine detail, the detail, the day-to-day,

02:31I don't know, for example, when you go to Europe,

02:34and there is a short row that says,

02:36residents, European Union, United States, China,

02:39and the other says, others?

02:41Well, we go for others, I say, who does not have a European citizenship,

02:45you go for others, you take a little longer,

02:48but maybe from this agreement you will be able to go for a row that says,

02:53citizens of the European Union, China, United States, Mercosur.

02:57But in the end, they all end up being the same row at some point.

03:00Well, or they will put us aside.

03:03Exclusivity does not cease to be exclusive.

03:05Or they will put us aside and there will be people from immigration in the other ten and in ours one.

03:08I don't know.

03:09Ah, well, we'll see.

03:10But, I mean, it could be some ease for travel.

03:13There is no difficulty in traveling to Europe,

03:15but there is this specific issue.

03:17Is it a historical agreement?

03:18Yes, it is a historical agreement.

03:19Ten years ago, no one would have given two euros for this agreement,

03:23no one would have believed that this would really have worked,

03:27and it is working.

03:28Whether it is positive or not, I would tell you, in general terms,

03:32the economies of the European Union and South America,

03:37or of Mercosur, to be more precise,

03:39are more complementary than, for example,

03:43the Argentine economy with that of the United States.

03:46The Argentine economy and that of the United States are relatively competitive,

03:49I say relatively because the United States is a giant,

03:52it is a quarter of the world GDP, and we are very far from that.

03:55But we have similar industries.

03:57We have hydrology, we have automobiles,

03:59we have cattle production, we have soy, wheat production.

04:03And at the time of an agreement, is something complementary useful?

04:07I don't know what can be useful to make a free trade agreement with the United States,

04:10which is what President Javier Milley said,

04:12because they are more competitive than complementary economies.

04:15With the European Union, Argentina in particular,

04:18which is what interests us the most,

04:19but also the rest of the Latin American countries,

04:21has a slightly more complementary economy.

04:24We have a lot of energy production,

04:28of gas molecules, which is what can travel,

04:31because hydroelectric energy cannot travel to Europe.

04:35We have a lot of that,

04:37we have a lot of grain food on a large scale,

04:41and Europe not so much.

04:42And then, yes, we have some other things

04:44in which we are competitive,

04:46but it can be an interesting agreement.

04:48And this achievement, if it ends up being an achievement,

04:50is it something positive?

04:51It is an achievement of several governments that have been working on it,

04:53it is an achievement of the Chancellery.

04:55It is a joint achievement.

04:57To be honest,

04:59the first big boost to this was during the government of Mauricio Macri.

05:02During the government of Mauricio Macri,

05:04the first big boost for this to happen.

05:06I mean, it worked for a long time.

05:08Yes, the context before was not favorable,

05:10the government of Macri was given a lot of momentum.

05:13I don't know if you remember the anecdote

05:15that Jorge Fori cried and everyone laughed

05:18because Fori said,

05:20I'm excited, we got something historical.

05:23After this, the only thing left is to recover the Malvinas.

05:26Look for the video, it's great.

05:28If you find it, it would be good to put it.

05:30And some people said, hey, it's not much.

05:33It's for so much.

05:35Do you think you can compare this with Malvinas?

05:37Well, it seems that at the end,

05:39Jorge Fori, beyond the occasional mockery of the moment,

05:42had some reason.

05:44It is a historical agreement.

05:46It is not the silver bullet of anything,

05:48it is not that it does not put food on the table

05:50immediately tomorrow or in two years,

05:52but it is an agreement.

05:54It is a long-term agreement.

05:56Yes, these agreements are always long-term,

05:58otherwise they are not fulfilled.

06:00And clearly, it is an important agreement.

06:02Argentina has its main investors

06:05are companies from the United States,

06:07from Europe, from Chile, from Brazil.

06:10There are many European companies

06:12that invest in Argentina.

06:14And I give you a case.

06:16Can this be facilities for European companies?

06:18It can be.

06:20It also depends on how the national economy works.

06:22For example, the European company,

06:24which is owned by Desur,

06:26which is an electric distributor,

06:28are Italian,

06:31they stayed because of the tariffs,

06:33not because of the signing

06:35of the Mercosur-European agreement.

06:37But in some way,

06:39the Mercosur-European agreement

06:41provides a very favorable framework.

06:43European investments have legal security

06:45in Argentina,

06:47since the legal umbrella

06:49of the 90s,

06:51where you, for example,

06:53can be the owner of a company

06:55of public services here

06:57and that your capital is in Europe

06:59And at the regional level,

07:01how is this agreement regulated?

07:03I mean, within the Mercosur itself.

07:05It is a block agreement

07:07for the countries of the European Union,

07:09for the European Economic Union in general.

07:11The conditions are the same

07:13in all countries.

07:15Interesting fact.

07:17Bolivia is added.

07:19Mercosur is Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay.

07:21Mercosur is Bolivia.

07:23I don't see it in photos or videos,

07:25but Luis Arce is there,

07:27the multicultural republic

07:29or pluricultural of Bolivia.

07:31That's the new name.

07:33No, there is Calle Pou,

07:35Lula, Peña.

07:37But Bolivia is there.

07:39And Milei, in the strange photo.

07:41You clearly identify Calle Pou by height.

07:43Milei is our president, we know him.

07:45We know Lula.

07:47By height we identify him, yes.

07:49And he is the smallest.

07:51Santi Peña, as they call him.

07:53Santi is the tallest.

07:55Who is the blonde lady?

07:57The blonde lady is

07:59Ursula von der Leyen.

08:01She is the representative

08:03of the European Economic Community.

08:05It is a very important agreement

08:07and I think

08:09that in the long term

08:11it will be favorable.

08:13H&M, the big brand.

08:15It would be good.

08:17Yes.

08:19For example, Sara Estacas.

08:21Sara is

08:23the most famous Spanish woman

08:25of Amancio Peña.

08:27She has Sara, Massimo Dutti,

08:29Leftis.

08:31Leftis is good.

08:33Leftis is the B side of Sara.

08:35And good things, yes.

08:37And very cheap.

08:39Ideal to give things to the family

08:41that you don't appreciate so much.

08:43You know, when you see this label

08:45you know how much I appreciate it.

08:47By the way, I send you the message.

08:49But for example, it would be good.

08:51Sara is in Chile.

08:53It would be good if Sara,

08:55who is present in the country,

08:57if from this agreement

08:59the same pants that she charges you

09:0130 euros, she doesn't charge you 90.

09:03Like I had to pay the other day.

09:05Lino bag, 360 thousand pesos.

09:07No, no.

09:09Sara, take it back.

09:11Sara, this in the third

09:13discounts after January 7

09:15is 50 to 60 euros.

09:17Don't charge me 360.

09:19The same bag.

09:21Made in Pakistan.

09:23All the same.

09:25The same bag in another country.

09:27It can't be more than 100 dollars.

09:29When you see the label where it is made,

09:31Pakistan, Bangladesh,

09:33Indonesia.

09:35And if you see PCR,

09:37do you know what it means?

09:39People's Republic of China.

09:41For the initials, for the acronym in English.

09:43Made in PCR.

09:45At one time it was produced here.

09:47Do you know that this brand was made in Sastreria?

09:49Here in Argentina.

09:51No, no. The industry is competitive here.

09:53What is not competitive are the prices.

09:55This is the information that comes

09:57from Uruguay.

09:59A very important historical agreement that Lucio marked us.
