Polish Opinions about the European Union–Mercosur Partnership Agreement
The 17th January this year saw the signing of the European Union–Mercosur Partnership Agreement. Once ratified, it will involve a gradual reduction of import duties on most products and a consequent increase in trade between the countries of the EU and Mercosur. This agreement has elicited farmers’ protests in Europe, with Poland, France, Ireland, Austria and Hungary registering their opposition to it. The European Parliament referred the agreement to the Court of Justice of the EU to check whether it did not contravene any EU treaties.
