MINORITY POSITION

pursuant to Rule 56(4) of the Rules of Procedure

Lynn Boylan, Marina Mesure, Danilo Della Valle

The Commission argues that this trade agreement will help Europe address geopolitical instability and economic uncertainty. But this deal will not deliver the benefits claimed.

It gives corporations the right to sue States before international tribunals for millions of euros when governments regulate in the public interest, while granting no equivalent rights to workers, communities or the environment. This exposes a contradiction with Europe’s exit from the Energy Charter Treaty to protect itself from such lawsuits.

The agreement also runs counter to efforts to re-industrialise Europe. It facilitates the relocation of industries, particularly automotive production, to Mexico, and puts workers in Europe and Mexico into competition instead of supporting decent jobs, deepening a race to the bottom.

It restricts governments’ policy space while promoting a harmful extractivist model. It also incentivises agri-food exports instead of supporting agricultural sovereignty in Mexico and Europe.

The Commission’s own evaluation of the existing agreement with Mexico found that, after nearly twenty years, its impact was marginal for both parties even by the narrow measure of GDP. There is little basis to expect this revised deal to deliver the promised economic benefits.

We support a stronger EU-Mexico relationship and closer cooperation, but on different terms.
