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
