BREAKING: After 20+ years of
🤫secretive negotiations
✊widespread opposition from farmers, civil society & social movement groups
🛑 rejection by several parliaments

the EU just decided to ignore democracy, people's rights & the planet, and closed the #EUMercosur trade deal.

[European Coordination Via Campesina @ECVC1]

ECVC farmers from more than 20 countries in Schuman to demand an end to the EU-Mercosur FTA, with CSOs, workers unions, NGOs, MEPs and more.

Voices are loud and clear to @EU_Commission from across society: STOP EU-MERCOSUR!

🚜Mobilisation à Bxl ajd pour alerter sur les dangers des accords de libre-échange:
- Nous voulons qu'acheter plus bas du prix juste aux producteurs faisse partie de la liste noir UTP.
- Il faut inclure la rémuneration decente des paysans! #StopUEMercosur🧑‍🌾https://t.co/cJ8BMViBso

Instead of competitiveness, we're calling for solidarity 🌍

Progressive farmers and NGOs demand to ✋ #stopeumercosur free trade agreement and 🚫ban purchasing below sustainable production cost!

#fairprices for sustainable food system🌱

[European Coordination Via Campesina @ECVC1]

The vision of ‘competitiveness’ that is being peddled by the Commission does not exist. Farmers will never be able to compete with the investment funds, big agribusiness, and agro-export and import companies who monopolise, grab and speculate. Instead, we have clear demands:

[@oxfambe.bsky.social @OxfamBE]

📣The @EU_Commission must uphold its commitments & ban the purchasing of agri products below production costs.
This is a key demand from farmer protests. Protecting farmers’ revenues & livelihoods is essential for fair food systems! 👩‍🌾

Aujourd'hui à Bruxelles, des communautés africaines se battent contre l'accaparement de leurs terres par SIAT. Soutenues par des ONG, elles réclament 1,6 M€ pour les dégâts causés. 🌍✊ #JusticeTerre #DroitsHumains #Solidarité

[European Coordination Via Campesina @ECVC1]

Despite farmer mobilisations, AGRIFISH council and @jwojc have quickly forgotten farmers' demands! Export-oriented free trade policy serves agribusiness and is incompatible with ensuring prices that cover production costs through market regulation.

Council statement backing the Commission’s proposal to slash environmental measures in the CAP: “We have listened to our farmers and we have taken swift action to address their concerns at a time”

Farmers protesting outside the meeting of EU Agri ministers:

[IPES-Food @IPESfood]

Imagine a job where you never get a day off. Your work puts you in debt. You can't save for a pension.

No wonder European #farmers are up in arms.

The @EU_Commission's irrelevant response is to gut environmental standards. They've made the wrong U-turn.

🔴Extremely disappointed by declaration from @davidClarinval and @jwojc declarations.

Are you deaf? Our demands are fair prices and the end of FTAs. It is becoming very visible that you are working only for agri-business, against farmers. ��

Dès l'annonce de sa candidature à la Présidence, @vonderleyen rencontre à huit clos, sous les auspices de @EU2024BE avec @alexanderdecroo, des industriels pour la promotion de European Industrial Deal. Cette rencontre est un scandale quand le Pacte vert a massivement échoué  ⤵️
