More than 45,000 European companies export to Mexico.

Omissions

• The official European Commission factsheet states the figure as '45,000' EU businesses exporting to Mexico, while the Commission's main trade page and several secondary sources phrase it as 'over 45,000'; both are consistent with the claim's 'more than 45,000'.
• The reference year of the underlying exporter statistic is not specified in the Commission materials; the figure is the Commission's official headline number used in the EU–Mexico agreement communication (materials published in the context of the 2026 signing).
• Commission materials used by the MEP were published before the session date (agreement signed May 2026), so the MEP could legitimately have known this figure.
