Mexico mulls Europe trade deal as Nafta talks drag on

Mexico and the European Union could reach a framework for a trade deal by the end of the year, though differences remain over agricultural market access, Mexican Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo said-.

The two sides are currently in technical meetings and preparing for higher-level talks in Brussels next week, said Guajardo, who noted that efforts to renegotiate Nafta remained hung up on a U.S. proposal to increase North American content in autos.
