The Commission’s priorities for the negotiations with Mexico Sample Clauses

The Commission’s priorities for the negotiations with Mexico. In the spring of 2016 the European Commission’s Impact Assessment on the planned negotiations with Mexico was placed on an external website, with a ‘Restricted’ label. It was stated that ‘While this document apparently already had been declassified on 13 Jan 2016 it was for unclear reasons only released to the public on 30 May 2016.’9 It is rare to gain this sort of insight into trade negotiators’ minds before negotiations begin. The case made by the Commission in this document is summarised below. The underlying rationale for initiating the negotiations (on p. 5) was stated as: ‘Fifteen years after its entry into force, the EU-Mexico FTA – which was considered ambitious around the turn of the millennium – does not address some of the important trade and investment issues relevant today in the ambitious way other recent comprehensive agreements concluded by the EU or Mexico or in course of negotiation since then have.’ In this context it mentions CETA, TTIP and the TPP in particular. The Commission was concerned about the EU’s possible place in commercial competition with others, and in particular the fear that, ‘The TPP could result in the EU further losing ground in the Mexican market, notably to other Pacific countries’ (p. 15). It asserted that Mexico too was ‘concerned that the TTIP might result in an erosion of the Mexico-US trade and investment relation’ and had ‘expressed a wish to be associated with the TTIP negotiations’ (p. 16). This concern about 8 DG TRADE European Commission (2015). Modernisation of the Trade Pillar of the Eu-Mexico Global Agreement.
