Just the Facts | What is the EU-Mercosur Trade Agreement?

This Just the Facts examines what exactly the EU-Mercosur deal entails and delves into some of its controversies in Ireland and across Europe.

European Movement Ireland @eumovementireland.bsky.social · Sep 3

The @ec.europa.eu is pushing for the ratification of the Mercosur deal today.

🐄 This is particularly concerning for Irish beef farmers. There are worries that increased imports of Mercosur beef will drive down prices and create unfair competition due to differing production standards.
