We attended the breakfast hosted by the France-Brazil Chamber of Commerce (CCIFB), which welcomed the president of ApexBrasil to discuss the opportunities arising from the European Union–Mercosur Agreement for trade and investment between France and Brazil.
The discussions highlighted several points with direct impact on companies operating or planning to operate between the European and South American markets, including simplified customs procedures, access to public procurement, expansion of service offerings, and support initiatives for small and medium-sized enterprises.
In his remarks, Jorge Viana emphasized the strength of the institutional relationship between Brazil and France and highlighted the agreement’s potential as a driver of long-term sustainable growth, in a context marked by the pursuit of predictability and economic integration.
For GTLawyers, participating in such forums is part of our commitment to closely monitor developments in the economic landscape and to turn macro-level discussions into practical decisions for our clients, partners, and investors operating along the France–Brazil axis.
