Go to bruxel !! Kalash !! Kalash !!!
the European Union is corrupt to the hilt. How can you destroy citizens, workers and farmers like this, depriving them of their jobs? Why should they pay rent to buy food for their children?
ursula von der leyen should be in prison for the rest of her days. All her actions will lead to terrible poverty in Europe
Go Farmers. All EU trade deals are like our EU politicians…THEY ARE STUPID and short sighted
Brazilian farmers don´t use hormones since 2011! It´s prohibited by law.
Isn’t Canada still waiting for the EU to ratify the CETA trade agreement with Canada since 2014? It’s been 10 years now. Mercosur has only been waiting 5 years. Why is it getting priority?
French farmers the single biggest problem 8n the eu, other than the fact the eu moves between 2 cities, explained by french arrogance.
Eu has more tariffs on the 3rd world than the USA.
✅ DEALING business w/ the EU is like the US! any contracts won't last if EU has a deficit, new leader, and OR bullied by its US masters!
Frexit! Frexit! Frexit!
Quotas do not work, we have that for Ukrainian goods, this week Ukrainian outlets and msm were writing that Ukrainians are wondering why EU isn't reacting since they meet quotas for some products months ago and still they export to EU.
These EU deals are pushed for countries like Germany that needs new export destinations, in that case the return goods are agrocultural so European farmers must suffer it. Typical…
why not have a free deal with usa? its all gmo either way.
Good way for EU. The more partners the better. Bye bye US
