How the European Parliament can still block the Mercosur deal

Lawmakers are preparing a European Court of Justice review to assess the deal’s legality, potentially suspending ratification.
France and other opponents argue the deal threatens EU farmers due to looser Latin American production standards.
EU governments backed the deal, but opponents aim to block it through Parliament’s consent vote.
Parliament could require a formal consent vote between February and May depending on the resolution outcome.
Green and Left MEPs introduced the resolution seeking a judicial review of the deal’s legality.
A court ruling could force negotiations to restart if parts of the agreement are deemed illegal.
Provisional application is debated, with some countries urging rapid entry while Parliament’s consent remains uncertain.
Some MPs expect only 15 to 20 lawmakers to determine the final outcome in Parliament.
The European Union’s top court could assess the legality of a rebalancing mechanism in the deal.
If Parliament approves, final consent could follow the provisional application stage, subject to political dynamics.
