新华财经圣保罗9月4日电（记者杨家和）据巴西外交部消息，巴西政府认为意大利将在欧盟—南方共同 市场自由贸易协定能否在欧洲理事会获得通过方面发挥"关键性"作用。 该协定如在欧洲理事会获批，须获得至少15个成员国支持，且这些国家需占欧盟总人口65%以上。巴西 方面研判，尽管法国和波兰近期释放出一定善意信号，但由于两国农业游说势力强大，仍存在反对或弃 权的可能，两国合计占欧盟人口近24%。 巴西外交部消息人士表示，意大利人口占欧盟的13%以上，如若投反对票，协议将无法推进。不过，该 人士透露，尽管意大利政府面临本国农户的压力，但总理梅洛尼领导的政府对协定持积极态度。 巴西方面同时密切关注爱尔兰、奥地利、荷兰和比利时等国立场，这些较小成员国若形成合力，也可能 影响协定命运。 目前巴西的判断是，欧洲理事会只有在确保支持票数充足的情况下才会启动正式审议。欧盟委员会之所 以将协定提交理事会，正是因为其认为协定具有获得批准的可能性。至于欧洲议会层面，巴西方面预计 结果虽无明显优势，但多数通过的机会较大。 （文章来源：新华财经） ...
