After more than two decades of negotiations, the EU and Mercosur reached an initial agreement text (EUMETA) in 2019. Since then, however, several political developments - most notably the increase in deforestation rates in Brazil under President Bolsonaro - have called for further negotiations. Concerns over sustainability led the EU to demand additional commitments and to adopt unilateral instruments, such as the Regulation on Deforestation-free Products (EUDR), which Mercosur perceived as undermining the benefits of the EUMETA 2019. At the same time, escalating geopolitical and economic tensions underscored the strategic importance for trade agreements. The revised EUMETA 2024 presents a balanced compromise: the EU secures strengthened sustainability provisions and protection against potential export duties, while Mercosur gains some linkages to EU unilateral measures on sustainability. These include the possibility of benefiting from risk classification for the EUDR, amendments to the tariff elimination schedule for vehicles, specific safeguards, and options for export duties for selected minerals. Agricultural market access remains largely consistent with EUMETA 2019, with only modest additional quotas for Paraguay. By incorporating multiple protection mechanisms and aligning with complementary EU sustainability policies, EUMETA 2024 aims to address European concerns related to deforestation and competition risks.

Both women and men with disabilities face inequalities because of their disability, but their experiences differ depending on their gender. The situation of women with disabilities is tough. They are worse off than women without disabilities and face more challenges than their male peers because of gender stereotypes that push women and men into traditional roles. Women and girls with disabilities face multifaceted discrimination due to both gender-based and disability-related barriers, affecting their access to education, employment, healthcare, and social participation. The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Istanbul Convention, acknowledge the intersectional discrimination faced by women with disabilities. Likewise, the EU has responded through strategies like the European disability strategy (2021-2030) and the gender equality strategy (2020-2025), which promote inclusive, gender-sensitive policies. Legislative initiatives include the 2016 European Accessibility Act, the 2019 work-life balance directive, and the 2024 directive on violence against women. The European Parliament has consistently supported the rights of women with disabilities. Since the 1980s, it has adopted various resolutions addressing their systemic marginalisation and calling for intersectional approaches in EU policymaking. Recent actions include advocating for the recognition of gender-based violence as an EU crime and supporting the full implementation of the Istanbul Convention. The Parliament also highlights the need for targeted social, educational, and healthcare measures, reaffirming its commitment to ensuring equal rights and social participation for women with disabilities across the EU.

Denmark's national recovery and resilience plan (NRRP) corresponds to 0.2 % of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), or 0.5 % of Denmark's 2019 gross domestic product (GDP). The third and latest revision of the Danish NRRP was approved by Council on 8 July 2025. The EU financial contribution totals €1 625.9 million, including RRF grants (€1 429 million), a REPowerEU grant (€130.7 million) and a transfer of part of the Danish allocation under the Brexit Adjustment Reserve to the plan (€66.0 million). Denmark has so far received 67.2 % of the NRRP resources in the form of pre-financing and three payments; this is well above the current EU average (48.8 %). A further two payments will depend on progress made in implementing the plan. The amended plan reinforces green initiatives and seeks to enhance the resilience of the Danish economy and society, devoting 69 % of the plan to the green transition (up from 59 % in the original plan). In its 2025 country report, the Commission assessed the implementation of the Danish plan as 'well under way'. The European Parliament participates in interinstitutional forums for cooperation and discussion on NRRP implementation and scrutinises the Commission's work. This briefing is one in a series covering all EU Member States. Fourth edition. The 'NGEU delivery' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the lifecycle of the plans.
