European Commission 'regrets' EU parliament vote referring Mercosur deal to court

The EU executive said it "regrets" the European Parliament's decision on Wednesday to refer a newly-signed trade deal with South American bloc Mercosur to the European Union's top court.

"According to our analysis, the questions raised in the motion by the parliament are not justified because the commission has already addressed those questions and issues in a very detailed way," European Commission trade spokesman Olof Gill told reporters in Brussels.
