    EU-MERCOSUR : The European Commission forces its way in

    The Greens/EFA Group opposes this treaty, which does not respond to the current challenges facing the EU and the Mercosur countries. Following this agreement, the treaty will have to be approved by the Council by a qualified majority of Member States and by the European Parliament.

    The EU-Mercosur free trade agreement: still unacceptable

    Five years have passed and here we are grappling with this agreement once again. But what has happened since? Have the problems raised at the time been solved in a satisfactory manner? The EU-Mercosur free trade agreement is still unacceptable.

    Alternatives for a fair and sustainable partnership between the EU and Mercosur: scenarios and guidelines

    It is clear to us that we need to pursue another partnership between the EU and Mercosur: a fair and sustainable partnership that puts people and the planet first. How can we achieve this? We commissioned this study to open the discussion on a new, forward-looking approach, and a much-needed paradigm-shift.

    Stop the EU-Mercosur Trade Deal

    Our Group has been opposing the EU-MERCOSUR dinosaur agreement as it goes against the European general interest but also the European Green Deal which has not even entered into force yet. It does not even respond to the challenges faced by the population of the four Latin American countries
