Polish Parliament opposes EU-Mercosur deal: food and agriculture concerns
The Polish Parliament opposes the EU-Mercosur trade agreement in its current form. The main concerns are about the safety and quality of imported food, which might not meet the high standards required in Poland and the EU, potentially affecting consumer health and the competitiveness of Polish farmers.
Key points
The agreement might allow food products that do not meet the same high quality and safety standards as locally produced goods to be sold in Poland and the EU.
Polish farmers could face unfair competition from Mercosur producers who do not bear the costs of complying with strict EU regulations, potentially impacting their livelihoods.
The Parliament objects to bypassing national parliaments in the agreement's ratification process, meaning citizens might have less say in its final form.
