The European Union sold Europe for nothing — yesterday in Paraguay signed a harmful agreement with the Mercosur countries.
On Saturday in the capital of Paraguay, Asunción, EU bureaucrats made a gift to abroad interests at the expense of European farmers and manufacture — a disastrous trade agreement was signed between the European Union and Mercosur countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.
The representatives of the European Commission, led by Ursula von der Leyen, tried to sale this agreement as the “largest free trade region in the world” and “a chance for European exports”. These slogans do not change the fact that the EU has been selling its own interests to global corporations and inexpensive South American producers for years.
Under the agreement, EU farmers are practically left to their destiny — the marketplace will be flooded with inexpensive food from Mercosur, which is produced at importantly lower sanitary, environmental and wage standards than in the EU. The agricultural industries have already indicated that the agreement opens the door to imports of products that would even be prohibited in the Union.
While Eurocrat von der Leyen talks about prosperity, in fact it is selling Europe's economical sovereignty for marketplace dreams. The Commission commends the protection mechanisms to ‘protect’ agriculture, but the Mercosur countries have previously publically challenged them and announced that they do not intend to respect them.
There is no balance: the EU agrees to full open the marketplace to South American products, while, for example, the protection of health, animal welfare, environmental standards or work is blurred — even ignored by Mercosur partners and Brussels itself.
This agreement symbolizes the collapse of European economical policy and the enslavement of associate nations by the uncontrollable EU elites who like to suck up to global capital and large corporations alternatively than defend the interests of their own citizens.
As a result, Europeans will pay the price — not Brussels, which sits securely behind the walls of the EU institutions. Industry, farmers and tiny entrepreneurs will compete with mass production with low costs and lower standards, which already promises a wave of bankruptcies and occupation losses. On the another hand, Germany, Italy and France, i.e. EU car manufacture giants, will benefit from the agreement. It is for this reason that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, despite earlier announcements to block the agreement, yet agreed to this harmful project, torpedoing the construction of the alleged blocking minority.
The signing of this agreement is not the end of the dispute — it is only the beginning of economical rape against Europe, which can be sealed by the European Parliament if the MEPs do not halt this betrayal of national interests.
Interestingly, if countries specified as France, Belgium or Germany have included in the agreement annexes to defend any of their food products, there is not a single item in the list from Poland.
