Mexican companies will go out to fight for their interests in Europe in the face of the neglect of national authorities, which is why they created the Mexico-European Union Chamber of Commerce (MexChamEU). Its offices will be located in the Schuman Roundabout in Brussels, Belgium, considered the symbolic “power centre” of the region because of its proximity to the European Commission and the Council of Europe, the representative body of the member states.

It is constituted in Brussels with the capacity to deal with the European Commission, and with the purpose of encouraging and protecting the interests of national companies before that institution in charge of regulation and technical issues for exporting and importing,” Mexico’s ambassador to the European Union (EU), Rogelio Grangillhome Morfín, told MILENIO.
El valor de las exportaciones de bienes y servicios mexicanos a Europa alcanzaron un valor de 35.9 miles de millones de euros en 2023, mientras que las inversiones mexicanas en el viejo continente sumaron 42.3 miles de millones en 2022, esto de acuerdo con datos de la Comisión Europea.

“”In Mexico, businessmen are very aware of what happens in the United States, but not in Europe. So there are a series of regulations on this side of the world that affect the interests of Mexican exporters and they don’t know it,” lamented César Guerra Guerrero, who will serve as secretary general and treasurer of the chamber.”

For this reason, they will also participate in the creation of a document to advance the modernisation of the free trade agreement between Mexico and the European Union, as he was previously a consultant who was part of the team of negotiators for the modernisation of the treaty when he served as an official of the Ministry of Economy.

“There is no knowledge that they, the businessmen, can have an opinion that the European Commission or the European Parliament can take into account, see that there is a concern on the Mexican side and consider whether it fits into the regulations they are preparing,” he added.”

The MexChamEU, which will be chaired by Gökham Kantarcigil, director of O’life Natural, has as its first mission to give visibility to Mexican companies that are not normally protected in their country of origin.
