MERCOSUR has been signed. And by the way, I deeply regret that the European Parliament has put another obstacle in our way yesterday. But rest assured, we will not be stopped.

In a few days time, the president of the European Commission will travel to India to establish the principles of a free trade agreement between the subcontinent and the European Union. (16:15–16:26)
