BRUSSELS, Dec 18 (Reuters) - France is not ready to sign a EU trade deal with the Mercosur group of Latin American countries, French President Emmanuel Macron reiterated ahead of a EU summit in Brussels on Thursday, adding more work needed to be done on reciprocity and controls on products.
"We believe that the figures do not add up and that this agreement cannot be signed (...) it is about Europe's consistency and a Europe that protects its agriculture and its producers," Macron told reporters.
