On 17 January 2025, the European Commission announced the conclusion of additional negotiations on a modernised trade pillar of a broader update of the 1997 EU-Mexico Economic Partnership, Political Coordination and Co-operation Agreement ('the Global Agreement') to take into account Mexico's recent energy sector reforms. A first agreement in principle was reached on 21 April 2018, which in turn was complemented by an agreement on 28 April 2020 on the scope of the reciprocal opening of public procurement markets. The trade pillar of the Global Agreement was the first trade liberalisation agreement the EU concluded with a Latin American country. It has contributed to a significant increase in EU Mexico trade in services and industrial goods. However, it has become outdated, as both parties have entered into a wide range of preferential trade agreements with other partners with state-of-the-art provisions reflecting new developments in trade and investment policies. Removing non-tariff barriers to trade, and liberalising trade in agricultural goods would allow the EU and Mexico to enhance their competitive edge in each other's markets. After the modernised Global Agreement's legal review and translation into all official languages, the European Commission will submit to the Council proposals for Council decisions on its signature and conclusion. These will set out the agreement's legal architecture and its ratification pathway. Third edition. The 'International Agreements in Progress' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the process, from initial discussions through to ratification. The previous edition was published in October 2020. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

Term limits restrict the number of terms an individual may serve in a given office and mainly aim to prevent a person from holding an office indefinitely. They most commonly apply to heads of state, heads of government or ministers, but in a very few instances are applied to members of parliament too. The debate around term limits is not new, but it has recently re-emerged as part of a broader reflection on democratic accountability, representative legitimacy, and the erosion of public trust in political institutions. In many democratic systems, the repeated re-election of the same individuals is increasingly perceived as a form of political entrenchment, fuelling concerns about declining responsiveness to citizens' concerns and reduced space for policy innovation. Within this context, term limits are often advanced as a mechanism for political renewal, aimed at broadening access to office and limiting the consolidation of personal power. There are arguments both in favour of and against the introduction of term limits in parliamentary life. The debate involves balancing the benefits of democratic renewal and the potential drawbacks of losing experienced members of parliament. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to introduce them depends on several considerations, including, but not limited to, the country's specific circumstances, the role of parliament and its accountability. This briefing looks at term limits of parliamentary mandates – not to be confused with the principles of ineligibility and incompatibility. It explores legal proposals, party statutes, and political rhetoric across the European Union and reveals a fragmented landscape in which term limits are simultaneously seen as tools of modernisation and as a potential constraint on electors' choice.
