The decision to involve the EU's top court suggests that there are substantial concerns among parliament members about the implications of the Mercosur deal, potentially related to environmental or labor standards. As the EU seeks to strengthen its global trade position, such internal disputes could hinder its effectiveness and credibility on the world stage.
