Polish President Karol Nawrocki has called on Prime Minister Donald Tusk to immediately file a complaint with the European Court of Justice and suspend the provisional application of the European Union\u2019s trade agreement with Mercosur.<\/p>\n
Nawrocki expressed serious concern over potential damage to Poland\u2019s agricultural sector, Caliber.Az<\/a> reports, citing Polish media<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a letter published on the website of the President\u2019s Office, he warned that implementing the agreement \u201ccould lead to irreversible harm and seriously undermine the foundation of our agricultural economy.\u201d<\/p>\n The president stressed that inaction could negatively impact farms, local communities, and the country\u2019s food security.<\/p>\n Nawrocki also highlighted a misstep in the prime minister\u2019s position: the European Parliament had only requested an opinion from the EU Court of Justice, which does not block the provisional application of the deal starting in May 2026.<\/p>\n The Head of State attached a draft complaint to the letter and urged immediate action.<\/p>\n He also proposed legislation to protect the productive function of rural areas, emphasising the importance of farmers\u2019 work for both food security and the broader economy.<\/p>\n The EU-Mercosur trade agreement, signed on January 17, provides export preferences for beef, poultry, dairy products, sugar, and ethanol from Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay, while opening their markets to European industry.<\/p>\n While most EU countries supported the deal in early January, Poland, France, Austria, Ireland, and Hungary opposed it.<\/p>\n Critics fear that increased imports of cheap agricultural products could weaken domestic farmers.<\/p>\n The European Parliament\u2019s referral of the matter to the EU Court of Justice has delayed the final vote on the agreement.<\/p>\n By Bakhtiyar Abbasov<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Polish President Karol Nawrocki has called on Prime Minister Donald Tusk to immediately file a complaint with the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":162,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[139,145,144,64,140,143,138,142,141,137],"class_list":{"0":"post-161","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-donald-tusk","8":"tag-analysis-of-azerbaijan","9":"tag-azerbaijan","10":"tag-baku","11":"tag-donald-tusk","12":"tag-important-news-of-azerbaijan","13":"tag-international-experts","14":"tag-interviews","15":"tag-interviews-with-azerbaijani-analysts","16":"tag-news-from-baku","17":"tag-news-of-azerbaijan"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
