In that case, why not allow European farmers to follow the same relaxed farming standards?
- hermanzegerman 10mo agoBecause these pesticides might be harmful for European workers, working on these farms, or the ecosystem surrounding it? Saying "Look we don't want any of these pesticides in the final product delivered to us" is easier in negotiations than forcing them to accept all EU Regulations regarding farming for Mercosur
- like_any_other 10mo agoWell that's great for the EU consumer, but citizens have interests beyond those of mere consumers, and this doesn't help put their farmers on equal footing.
