After years of negotiations, the EU and South America's Mercosur bloc have concluded a large-scale free trade agreement. But the deal is not without it's detractors. France and Poland particularly fear the deal could wreak havoc on their agricultural sectors and are lobbying against ratificaiton. The deal still needs to be greenlit by at least 15 of the EU's 27 countries

Argentinian beef is some of the best in the world. If the French export their beef to Argentina they will be lowering the standards there 🤣

I can see why Germany is interested in this deal, especially with how Volkswagen is doing

As a german, I like the EU. Germany had to bow when it came to EV tariffs, now France has to bow for this deal. And in the end, it was a positive net sum for all 👍

Some regions in Brazil have 3 harvests a year... you can't compete with that, there is no winter, no snow, the soil doesnt need to rest and the climate is perfect...
Just like south america can't compete with germany cars, for example, European agriculture cant compete with south america... French farmers have to especialize in Wine and Cheese that they are great at, but fruits, meat, soy, corn and ect they have no chance...

As a European who lived in Uruguay for a little while, I’m looking forward to the Hilton quota being lifted from Uruguayan steak. Wth do French farmers mean, ”lower standards”? It’s far superior to any steak produced in the EU.

This deal is amazing for Europe and I am thrilled about it. Europe needs this deal to survive. Aside having to deal with the french I would say this deal a huge success. Brazilian Beef will be very welcome here.

Between the EU and China, this helps to expand the region's options It also helps to enlarge the market for Euros, which will slow down Euro inflation.

Great succes for EU. We get cheaper food, cheaper raw materials and EU sell more high tech products l to Mercosur. Nearly all win in both EU and Mercosur.

Hope France (as always) and Poland (didn’t expect it from them…) don’t ruin this

"It seems that French farmers want to dictate the rules; it is up to the European Union to put them in their place!"

This is hugely benefitial for both sides and the planet in general. The European technology could play a crucial role in the environmental preservation and tackling of global warming crisis.

This is an agreement of historical importance for EU, wether the farmers like it or not. Polish and French are not forced to take part in this agrement if they don ' t want, but sooner or later they will regret to kick out such a big agreement.

Agriculture is important to any region in the world to secure the region can be sustained even in a crisis. That is why EU and US subsidies farming with billions of dollars every year. But we can not let the farming communities dictate all trade deals. There are other considerations. Most of us rely on service and manufacturing.

The quality of food from South America is often superior to the food produced in Europe. We use far more pesticides and penicillin in the European production.

I'm looking forward in South America's exotic fruits and vegetables..

The European Farmers may have to diversify in their crops or find something else to produce.
Or lose due to strong competition.

This may encourage the EU to start developing new fields.

In mercosur there are some that are against it as well. But we respect what the majority wants better than some European country who thinks too highly of themselves.

I laugh at beef standards from EU. Meat from S.A. is the best in the world, unlike cattle in other countries, they are not confined, the feed in vast farms. That’s also why a beef cut from SA is so superior in flavor.
