IFA critical of EU Commissioner’s stance in current trade negotiations
Speaking in Brussels, IFA president John Bryan urged the EU Commission to take full account of equivalence of standards and to protect the CAP in any trade negotiations, including the current Mercosur talks.
John Bryan accused the EU Trade Commissioner Karl De Gucht of failing to adequately defend the interests of the EU in the Mercosur negotiations on the crucial issues of food security, sustainability, climate change, and standards.
