Bilateral safeguard clause of the EU-Mercosur Partnership Agreement and the EU-Mercosur Interim Trade Agreement for agricultural products

(COM(2025)0639 – C10-0247/2025 – 2025/0322(COD))

Proposal for a regulation

Article 9 – paragraph 7 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

7 a. Any supplementation of the support fund for farmers affected by tariff reductions shall not come at the expense of the welcome doubling of the CAP's crisis reserve communicated by the Commission in the National and Regional Partnerships Plans.

Or. en

Justification

Given the delicate nature of the agreement, coupled with the tense attitude of the EU farming sector towards the EC’s proposal on the CAP reform, safeguarding the CAP's crisis reserve shows commitment both to the farming community on the Mercosur issue, as well as to the EC on one of the very few positive elements in the new CAP reform, the doubled CAP’s crisis reserve.

This technical adjustment guarantees that any supplementation of the EUR 1bn dedicated to Mercosur compensations will not be taken from the CAP’s crisis reserve, as they belong to the same financial cluster.
