It is home to over 430 million people \u2013\u00a025 per cent more than the population of the United States (US) \u2013\u00a0and accounts for around one-sixth of global trade. If we include the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) members and candidate countries such as Ukraine, Moldova, and the Western Balkans, this market could expand to over\u00a0520 million, making it 50 per cent larger than the US economy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With political ambition, this extended free trade area could further grow by deepening ties with Latin America, for instance, through a long-awaited EU-Mercosur agreement. Such a move would create a transatlantic trading community of\u00a0800 million\u00a0people, which is more than twice the population of the EU, and potentially the\u00a0largest free trade bloc in the world.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tNewsletter<\/p>\n<p>Weekly updates with our latest articles and the editorial commentary. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Europe\u2019s economic strength and resilience will come from EU enlargement and partnerships with Ukraine, Mercosur and Latin America.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":503634,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[151733,3647,2000,299,5187,1699,2190,730,770,657],"class_list":{"0":"post-503633","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-economic-security","9":"tag-economics","10":"tag-eu","11":"tag-europe","12":"tag-european","13":"tag-european-union","14":"tag-hungary","15":"tag-india","16":"tag-poland","17":"tag-ukraine"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115382786784847507","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=503633"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503633\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/503634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=503633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=503633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=503633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
