"Mr President, many fellow Members are concerned about the ramifications that the reopening of negotiations on an association agreement with Mercosur might have on European agriculture.
My group and I share these concerns. Indeed there are fears – and, as the MEP for an outermost region, I have experience of the banana agreements – that an agreement with Mercosur may deal a severe blow to many European agricultural sectors. That is why an impact assessment is absolutely essential. There are also fears that Mercosur’s agriculture will become more production-driven – a little too production-driven – by this agreement, to the detriment of the small farms in these countries. A balance must therefore be found so that this agreement does not transform the continents of Latin America and Europe into superpowers essentially defined by mercantile dogma."@en1
