– We will fight to guarantee that the agreement with MERCOSUR does not enter into force – declared on Thursday clearly Rafał Trzaskowski in a conversation with journalists.
The trade agreement between the European Union and the countries of South America associated with the MERCOSUR block is 1 of the most controversial agreements of fresh years. After nearly 2 decades of negotiations, the preliminary arrangements were reached in 2019. The main nonsubjective of the agreement is to abolish duties on most goods and to strengthen economical and investment cooperation between regions.
What is the MERCOSUR Agreement?
However, enthusiasm is not common. In Europe, concerns are increasing that liberalisation of trade will hit local farmers who are incapable to compete with cheaper products from South America, frequently produced at lower sanitary and environmental standards.
In particular, there are allegations of a deficiency of real climate protection mechanisms and the fight against the deforestation of the Amazon. As a result, the agreement, despite its possible economical benefits, has inactive not been ratified and divides both politicians and the public.
More information soon.
