The EU remains committed to the trade agreement with the Mercosur states Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay - despite all the criticism and the foreseeable consequences of the agreement for people and nature, climate and regional value creation. There is a lot of talk about Brazil, condemning the fires and deforestation in the Amazon and forgetting that things don't look better in neighbouring countries. Paraguay, Mercosur's poorest country in terms of GDP, in particular, has similarly poor statistics on human rights violations, deforestation and displacement. The infographic looks at this forgotten country of Mercosur, examines the current economic, social and political situation and briefly but succinctly describes the consequences of the EU-Mercosur agreement for Paraguay should it enter into force.

In our clear infographic you will find figures, data and facts about the social and economic situation and the expected consequences of the EU-Mercosur Agreement at a glance.
