JBS, the Brazilian meat giant, is set to benefit from the treaty between Europe and Mercosur

Great attention should be paid to safeguard clauses and reciprocity agreements, but the EU-Mercosur agreement should not be held up as a scapegoat against which to vent one’s frustration at problems in the sector that actually have an entirely different cause: first and foremost, the low profitability of the agricultural sector compared with the rest of the economy

Is there a solution for the food we import from countries that use pesticides banned in Europe?

The Mercosur free trade agreement could be an opportunity to try to align the rules between South America and the European Union. Trade unions, such as Coldiretti, should not dissipate their forces on meaningless projects such as the no to ‘cultured meat’ or the production of dried pasta, and focus on reciprocity of import standards
