This motion of censure on the Commission censures the Commission for concluding the EU-Mercosur Agreement without adequate safeguards for European agriculture and for failing to address farmers' concerns.

Key points

  1. Censures the Commission for its handling of the EU-Mercosur Agreement, which it says ignores opposition from national parliaments, Parliament, and farmers.
  2. Criticizes the Commission for splitting the agreement into two legal instruments to bypass national parliaments and reduce Parliament's oversight.
  3. States that the agreement threatens European agriculture by opening the market to products not meeting EU standards, creating unfair competition.
  4. Asserts that proposed safeguard clauses are insufficient because they do not allow automatic intervention or real reciprocity.
  5. Claims that Commission proposals for the post-2027 common agricultural policy fail to address farmers' concerns and that promised funds are not additional but advances.
  6. Notes that the Council authorized signature of the agreements without awaiting Parliament's position, reneging on a commitment to wait.
  7. Declares that the agreement is contrary to EU interests, exposing farmers, workers, and SMEs to unfair competition and strategic dependencies.
  8. Notes that the Commission has failed to listen to farmers and citizens, undermining agriculture and food security.

Who is affected

  • European farmers and breeders, who face unfair competition from imports not meeting EU standards.
  • European citizens, whose concerns about animal welfare, health, and environment are ignored.
  • Small and medium-sized enterprises, exposed to unfair competition and strategic dependencies.

Legal basis: Article 17(8) of the Treaty on European Union, Article 234 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and Article 106a of the Euratom Treaty
