SUMMARY:Ideas Lab Session: From signature to standstill: what future for th
 e EU-Mercosur agreement?
DESCRIPTION:The EU-Mercosur agreement has entered a new and uncertain phase
 . Although it was formally signed on 17 January 2026\, the European Parlia
 ment’s decision to refer the deal to the European Court of Justice for l
 egal checks effectively freezes the ratification process\, with the final 
 ruling potentially taking up to two years.\n\nIn this Lab session\, policy
 makers\, economists and stakeholders from both the EU and Mercosur discuss
  what lies ahead: Is provisional application of the agreement a legally an
 d politically viable option? What does this prolonged impasse mean for the
  future of EU-Mercosur relations? What are the broader strategic implicati
 ons for EU trade policy at a time of heightened geopolitical competition\,
  shifting alliances and supply chain reconfiguration?\n\nSpeakers\n\n 	Cin
 zia Alcidi Moderator - Senior Research Fellow and Head of the Economic Pol
 icy and Jobs &amp\; Skills Units\, CEPS\n 	Paolo Garzotti - MERCOSUR negot
