PARIS, ‌Dec 19 (Reuters) - French ‍President ‌Emmanuel Macron said on Friday ⁠it ‌was too early to say whether a one-month delay ⁠to decide on an EU trade deal with South ‌America's Mercosur ⁠bloc will be enough to meet the conditions set by France, but that he hoped so.

Macron, who has pushed for ‍stronger guarantees to protect farmers, said he hoped the EU and Mercosur nations will approve in January ⁠measures to ensure South American imports meet the same requirements than European ones.

That would make the ‌pact a "new" Mercosur-EU deal, he said.
