MADRID/BRASILIA/PARIS, June 8 (Reuters) - Spain will 控訴,上告 to 大統領 Emmanuel Macron's ambition to make the European Union a "third 政治家" in world 事件/事情/状勢s in its 企て,努力,提案 to 安全な・保証する 決定的な French 支援 for a 立ち往生させるd EU 貿易(する) を取り引きする South America, によれば three 上級の 政府 and 外交の sources.

Spanish 総理大臣 Pedro Sanchez believes he has a window of 適切な時期 to 生き返らせる the Mercosur 自由貿易 協定 (FTA) - which has been frozen for four years - during Spain's 来たるべき 大統領/総裁などの地位 of the EU because of his の近くに 関係s with Brazil's 大統領 Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Argentine 大統領 Alberto Fernandez, 政府 and 外交の sources said.

Sanchez, who will be (選挙などの)運動をするing for reelection at home, 計画(する)s to 発表する the next steps at a 地域の 首脳会議 on July 17-18 as his 大統領/総裁などの地位 of the EU begins, によれば two 外交の EU sources and two Spanish 政府 sources.

Macron has 支持する/優勝者d 上げるing the EU's "戦略の 自治". He said in April the union of 27 nations could become a "third 政治家" in world 事件/事情/状勢s, と一緒に the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs and 中国.

Sanchez will 試みる/企てる to 説得する him the Mercosur 協定/条約 would help the EU to broaden its 同盟s with other open, democratic nations and to "rebalance" the geopolitical 地図/計画する, によれば two 上級の Spanish 政府 sources and two EU 外交の sources.

The EU agreed the 貿易(する) 取引,協定 in 原則 in 2019 after two 10年間s of on-off 会談 with Mercosur - which groups Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. But before it takes 影響, 圏s are 交渉するing a いわゆる "味方する letter" that 押し進めるs for more かかわり合いs on 気候 change and biodiversity.

In 経済的な 条件, Europe stands to 伸び(る) greater 接近 for 製造(する)d goods, 顕著に cars, which 直面する 関税s of 35%. It wants its 会社/堅いs 解放する/自由なd to compete for public tenders, and to sell more ワイン and cheese. 一方/合間, Mercosur 目的(とする)s to 上げる its 輸出(する)s of farm 商品/必需品s and minerals to Europe.

真っ先の の中で Macron's 関心s is the 衝撃 on French 農業者s, who have 激しく …に反対するd the 取引,協定 予定 to the 害(を与える) that 解除するing 貿易(する) 障壁s on South American beef could do to the 国内の cattle 産業. Macron has already 直面するd 猛烈な/残忍な 抗議するs in 最近の months over raising the 退職 age.

"The hardest partner to 納得させる is フラン and, with Macron at such a low point, it will be very difficult to get it done," said Anna Ayuso, a 上級の 分析家 at the Barcelona Centre for International 事件/事情/状勢s (Cidob).

フラン says is it not against the 取引,協定 but 警告するd against 急ぐing 交渉s. "We 明白に need to 終わりにする/要約する. The fact it took 23 years means it can take a couple of extra months too," Olivier Becht, フラン's 貿易(する) 大臣, told Reuters on Wednesday in an interview from Brazil.

フラン wants the 協定 to be 提携させるd with the Paris 気候 取引,協定, and has 主張するd on 追加するing the 付加 文書 that calls for Mercosur countries to 尊敬(する)・点 EU 森林伐採 支配するs for 商品/必需品s and agree to a 税金 on 炭素 集中的な goods entering the union, which has been met with 抵抗 in Mercosur.

Spain thinks it could bypass 抵抗 by Macron's 対抗者s by splitting the 条約 and 器具/実施するing on ly the 貿易(する) section, which does not need 批准 by the EU's 国家の 議会s, a 上級の 政府 source said.

The 選択 has not yet been 公式に 提案するd, but it would be an 適切な時期 to 急速な/放蕩な 跡をつける the 貿易協定. フラン, however, has already 発言する/表明するd its 対立 to the idea.

UKRAINE WAR

抵抗 to the 協定/条約 within the EU more 概して is fading 予定 to a growing 願望(する) to diversify the 圏's 網状組織 of 同盟(する)s in the wake of the ウクライナ共和国 war, によれば several 外交の and 政府 sources of the countries 伴う/関わるd.

完結するing the 貿易(する) 取引,協定 would give Europe more direct 接近 to South America's raw 構成要素s from 穀物s to lithium and nickel - minerals needed to make EV 殴打/砲列s - which have grown in 戦略の importance since Russia's 侵略 of ウクライナ共和国 混乱に陥れる/中断させるd 全世界の 貿易(する) flows.

Spain, one of the countries with the closest 経済的な and cultural 関係 to South America, also wants to 逆転する a 拒絶する/低下する in relations between the two 地域s in an ますます polarized world, said a Spanish 政府 source 直接/まっすぐに 伴う/関わるd in the 会談.

"An 協定 with Mercosur goes far beyond 接近 to its raw 構成要素s," the source said. "It's also about diversifying 同盟(する)s and friends: the EU needs new friends."

The European (売買)手数料,委託(する)/委員会/権限 (欧州共同体) says Latin America has been neglected and wants to 設立する closer 貿易(する) and political 関係 with a 地域 that is 提携させるd in democratic values with the EU, によれば two European 外交の sources.

In 最近の years, 中国 has vastly 拡大するd its 貿易(する) 足跡 in Latin America and mopped up some of the 影響(力) Europe enjoyed there by 申し込む/申し出ing 投資 and cheap 貸付金s-for-商品/必需品s.

"批准するing the Mercosur 取引,協定 would 代表する a major break -through for the EU in its relations with the いわゆる 全世界の South," said Miguel Otero, a 上級の 分析家 at the Elcano 王室の 学校/設ける, a think 戦車/タンク in Madrid.

欧州共同体 大統領 Ursula 出身の der Leyen will visit Brazil and Argentina in the coming days to 大打撃を与える out the 詳細(に述べる)s of Mercosur 交渉s, in 準備 for the next 一連の会議、交渉/完成する of 会談 starting on 15 June.

The 環境の かかわり合いs in the 別館 are 重要な, but 出身の der Leyen will also try to 安全な・保証する 接近 for European companies to Latin American countries' 調達 過程s, 同様に as to 説得する political leaders of the need for a 統一するd 激しい非難 of Russia's 侵略 of ウクライナ共和国.

LULA A KEY PLAYER

勢い for the 協定 had fizzled out after Brazil's former leader Jair Bolsonaro, who 株d former US 大統領 Donald Trump's 不信 of 自由貿易 取引,協定s, took 力/強力にする in 2019. But his 後継者, Lula da Silva, has a の近くに 関係 with Sanchez and has been 直接/まっすぐに 伴う/関わるd in 生き返らせるing the 取引,協定.

"We want to be more 影響力のある in this geopolitical 転換 that is taking place," Lula said on a visit to Spain in April. "If there is an 適切な時期, it is now. Europe needs 同盟(する)s."

Sanchez's own political 未来 has been 急落(する),激減(する)d into 疑問 after he called a snap 総選挙 for July 23 に引き続いて a poor 業績/成果 by his 社会主義者 party in 地元の 投票s last month.

But Spain's 保守的な People's Party - favourite for that 選挙 - supports the Mercosur 取引,協定 and two European 外交の 公式の/役人s and a 上級の PP source said they do not see much change in 政策 if Sanchez goes.

There is some 抵抗 to 生き返らせるing the 協定/条約, however, in South America.

Brazil's 外務大臣 Mauro Vieira told the Brazilian 上院 in May that there were concer ns the 別館 文書 would open (法などの)抜け穴s for 適用するing 許可/制裁s and could be used for 報復 by the EU if Brazil failed to 会合,会う its 環境の 保護 goal.

Brazil is carrying out an 査定/評価 and will then 接触する the other Mercosur partners to 現在の to Brussels a 反対する-提案, Vieira said. In 最近の days, Lula has 堅固に 拒絶するd the 参加 of European companies in Brazilian 政府 tenders, and said no 取引,協定 will be reached unless the EU takes Brazil's position into account.

Argentina's left-leaning 政府 also says the 2019 協定 - 交渉するd by a previous centre-権利 行政 - is unbalanced because it favours European 輸出(する)s.

It thinks that while the addendum does not help 交渉s, it could open discussions to 直す/買収する,八百長をする other 不均衡s in the 協定, によれば a 政府 source 参加するing in 会談.

"Since they want to 再開する the 交渉するd 一括 with the 環境, the Brazilian 政府 has a few ideas of its own," a Brazil 政府 広報担当者 said.
