    Das EU-Mercosur-Abkommen wird endlich den Freihandel über die längste Grenze Frankreichs eröffnen – die in Südamerika zwischen Französisch-Guayana und Brasilien liegt. Französisch-Guayana ist eine Region in äußerster Randlage der EU, daher gelten EU-Recht und alle mit der EU-Mitgliedschaft verbundenen Rechte und Pflichten


    Dieses Abkommen gilt auch für die anderen Regionen in äußerster Randlage der EU: Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion, Mayotte, St. Martin (nur französische Seite der Insel), die Azoren, Madeira und die Kanarischen Inseln. Diese Regionen erhalten Sie einige zusätzliche Schutzmaßnahmen Es wird der EU ermöglicht, Schutzmaßnahmen zu ergreifen, wenn erhöhte Importe aus dem Mercosur die lokalen Industrien ernsthaft beeinträchtigen.

      No, that’s incorrect. As an outermost region of the EU, and at France’s request, French Guiana has a European legal system that deviates significantly from ordinary law.

      The island of Saint Martin will continue to be a bizarre situation. The French side is an outermost region of the EU. Therefore the EU treaties apply and is part of the EU Customs Area. The Dutch side (Sint Maarten) is an Overseas Country, so it is not part of the EU (although the EU allows[ simplified trade with Overseas Countries and Territories](https://trade.ec.europa.eu/access-to-markets/en/content/overseas-countries-and-territories-0)).

      So despite the fact that there are no border checks between the two sides of the island, the French side will be part of this agreement, while the Dutch side wont be.

      It’s like with the EU Roaming rules. With an EU SIM card your provider must allow you to use your minutes and data on the French side as if you were in your home country. But if you cross (or accidentally connect) to the Dutch side you are not protected by the EU Roaming rules and the fees you can be charged are unregulated

      Bolivia is part of Mercosur, so is Venezuela despite its suspended state, map is incorrect.

      The land border between France and Brazil is literally dense jungle with one single passage near the mouth of the river, EU-Mercosul agreements wouldn’t change that.

      So I wonder if they will build some massive road or railway there and a big port. Would be nice to see.

      Europe puts rectrictions to their farmers that don’t apply to their imports, don’t know any country that is against their own food security.
