Likewise, Mexico and the European Union hold a Joint Committee on trade matters on a regular basis. This Joint Committee discusses the work of the supervisory bodies provided for by the Global Agreement and serves as a space for continuous dialogue on issues of common interest such as the bilateral economic relation, custom procedures, technical barriers to trade and intellectual property rights including geographical indications and designation of origin, among others.
