Temer also said that on Monday (05) he received phone calls from Portugal’s Prime Minister Antonio Costa and Spanish President Mariano Rajoy and both gave assurances that the EU is committed to closing the deal with the Mercosur. “Both of them reiterated my interest in winning the latest disputes so that the Mercosur-European Union agreement will be closed in the shortest term. At the time, I also revealed my commitment in that direction, “said Temer.
