Shortly before the start of the EU Presidency and on the anniversary of the political agreement of the EU-Mercosur Agreement, 60 German organisations and 265 civil society organisations from the EU and Mercosur are publishing an open letter calling for a freeze on negotiations:<\/p>\n

Time to rethink - stop EU-Mercosur agreement!<\/h4>\n

Negotiations between the EU and the South American confederation of states Mercosur (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay) have been ongoing for 20 years. A political agreement was reached last June. Since then, work has been underway to draw up a contract that is ready for signature. But the majority of citizens reject the agreement.
\nThe parliaments of the EU member states France, Belgium, Ireland and the Netherlands have expressed clear criticism that the Austrian government does not want to sign the agreement in its current form. Hardly any other agreement is as committed to the thinking and political action of the past as the EU-Mercosur agreement.<\/p>\n

What the EU-Mercosur agreement stands for and why we criticise it, read on in the open letter if you click on the green box below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
