EU-Mexico trade has grown by 148% over the 25 years since the start of the EU-Mexico trade relationship.

Omissions

• The exact 148% figure could not be located in any official (Eurostat or European Commission) source retrieved.
• The direct 25-year growth percentage is not published as such; the fivefold (+400%) estimate comes from IMCO cited by a secondary source (Freiheit.org), not from a primary statistical source.
• No primary Eurostat series with the 2000/2001 baseline value was retrieved in the two searches performed, so the precise official growth percentage could not be quoted verbatim.
• The EPRS briefing (22 May 2026) was published before the 2026-07-07 session, so the MEP could have known that 2025 trade was at an all-time high of €86.8 billion in goods.
