durée : 00:06:09 - Caroline au pays des 27 - par : Caroline Gillet - Parmi les gros dossiers que j'avais envie de suivre cette année, il y a l'accord EU-Mercosur. Ce texte vise à créer une zone de libre-échange entre l'UE et 4 pays d'Amérique latine. Lora Verheecke travaille pour l'observatoire des multinationales et elle milite contre l'accord.

Donald Trump bringt die bisherige Weltordnung ins Wanken: Mit Territorialforderungen, Kritik an der EU und einem guten Draht zu Putin sorgt er für Unsicherheit. Auch aus europäischer Perspektive bröckeln Vertrauen und Verlässlichkeit der USA. Der Politologe Peter Birle hält die aktuelle Situation für "brandgefährlich". Im Podcast "Wirtschaft Welt & Weit" spricht er sich dafür aus, unseren Blick für Partnerschaften in Lateinamerika zu schärfen.Birle ist Leiter der Forschungsabteilung des Ibero-Amerikanischen-Instituts in Berlin. Von einer strategischen Partnerschaft sei schon lange die Rede, sagt Birle im Podcast "Wirtschaft Welt & Weit", doch die gelte es mit Leben zu füllen. Luft nach oben gibt es für ihn dabei reichlich: "Wenn Europa und Lateinamerika in Zukunft eine regelbasierte internationale Ordnung wollen, müsste man sehr viel stärker ins Gespräch kommen", fordert Birle. Ein erster wichtiger Schritt wäre es, das Assoziierungsabkommen zwischen der Europäischen Union und den Mercosur-Staaten Brasilien, Argentinien, Uruguay und Paraguay zu ratifizieren.Durch den EU-Mercosur-Deal würde eine der größten Freihandelszonen der Welt mit über 700 Millionen Menschen entstehen. Mehr als zwei Jahrzehnte wurde verhandelt, dann hat die EU im Dezember 2024 den Abschluss vermeldet. Auf den ersten Blick ein Erfolg, und doch fehlen die Ratifizierungen. Dabei könnte Argentinien zum Störfaktor werden, sagt Birle. "Argentiniens Präsident Javier Milei schießt immer wieder gegen den Mercosur", erklärt Birle. Zum anderen denke Milei laut darüber nach, "im Sinne einer Anpassung an die US-Politik" aus dem Pariser Klimaabkommen auszusteigen. "Wenn Argentinien das tun sollte, dann ist der EU-Mercosur-Deal vom Tisch", so seine Warnung.Auch angesichts der aktuellen Weltlage ist für Birle eine schnelle Ratifizierung, weil Europa und ein Teil Lateinamerikas dadurch Position "für eine regelbasierte internationale Ordnung und gegen die wachsende Verunsicherung" beziehen würden.In Deutschland und auch in Europa hat man das wirtschaftliche Potenzial Lateinamerikas erkannt. Vor allem der russische Angriffskrieg auf die Ukraine macht deutlich, wie wichtig Rohstoffpartnerschaften auch mit dieser Region sind. Doch diese Partnerschaft wird Birle zufolge nicht gelebt. Im Klartext heißt das, "dass man Technologietransfer zulässt, Lieferketten gemeinsam aufbaut und nicht wieder in den traditionellen Kolonialwarenhandel zurückfällt".

In early December, the European Union and Southern Common Market, better known as Mercosur, reached an agreement on a trade deal. This announcement represented the culmination of more than two decades of negotiations between the EU and Mercosur countries, which had progressed off and on since 1999. In this episode, Ryan C. Berg sits down with Lauri Tähtinen, a non-resident senior associate with CSIS. Together, they discuss the history of the agreement and why it has finally come to fruition, as well as some of the remaining disputes that could continue to threaten the deal. They also discuss the geopolitical implications, particularly with respect to China and the new U.S. administration, of what will be the largest free trade area in the world.

As we reflect on the key milestones of the past year, we revisit the conclusion of a historic trade agreement between the EU and the Mercosur countries (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay) on December 6th. After 25 years of negotiations, the deal will create one of the world's largest free trade zones.In this episode, host Giada Santana and agrifood reporter Sofia Sanchez Manzanaro delve into the details of the EU-Mercosur deal and explore the controversies surrounding it.[Note: This episode was originally published on Dec 9th.]

Last weekend the EU agreed a new trade deal with four Mercosur countries, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.

With French opposition remaining to the EU-Mercosur deal struck last week by the EU, the real work on the deal starts now, French liberal MEP Marie-Pierre Vedrenne tells the Radio Schuman podcast today.Last week, the EU finalised the contentious Mercosur agreement with some South Amercan countries, a deal that follows on-and-off negotiations that began in 1999.However, France—one of the largest EU member states—along with several other countries with sizeable dairy and beef industries, opposes the agreement. They argue it could expose local farmers to unfair competition and heighten environmental risks.To block the deal, France is attempting to form a coalition of like-minded member states. Under EU rules, it would need the support of at least three other countries representing 35% of the bloc's population. Additionally, the agreement must gain approval from the European Parliament.In the second segment of the podcast, we look at EU ministers discussions with the Commission on the economic plans for their countries. Are they performing well?On the last part of the show, Radio Schuman reveals which airlines are using more sustainable form of fuel.Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by David Brodheim and Georgios Leivaditis.

So, what does the South American trade pact entail, and why has it created such deep divisions within the EU?In this episode, host Giada Santana and agrifood reporter Sofia Sanchez Manzanaro unpack the EU-Mercosur deal and the controversies it has sparked.

As farmers across Europe continue their protests against rising costs and cheap food imports, we look at one trade deal that's causing particular concern. The planned agreement between the European Union and the Mercosur trade bloc in South America could lead to billions in savings on export tariffs, but would also open up the EU market to goods that protesting farmers say don't meet strict EU standards. Also in this edition, we look at Italy's plan to bring in foreign workers to help fill labour shortages.

Argentina is celebrating four decades of uninterrupted democracy at the same time it elected a far-right politician as president. Javier Milei was inaugurated as Argentina's president on Sunday and the negotiations of the EU-Mercosur agreement have now been put on hold. Speaking before these last developments took place, Atilio Berardi, Argentinian Ambassador to the European Union, was hopeful that an agreement is possible given the political will that exists "on both sides of the Atlantic" but cautions that environmental concerns should not be placed above the trade agreement.

As Irish media coverage of Brussels wanes in the wake of Commissioner Phil Hogan's resignation over Golfgate, the real story of what goes on in the EU and further abroad remains untold. The people of Lebanon suffer the aftermath of a devastating industrial and economic crisis. The war on Syria rages on. The EU-MERCOSUR trade deal continues into law, and workers in the aviation industry suffer the effects of COVID-19.

This IFPRI Policy Seminar held on February 19, 2020, at IFPRI Headquarters, featuring presentations from Eugenio Diaz-Bonilla, Head, Latin American and Caribbean Program, IFPRI; Ramiro Costa, Deputy Executive Director of the Buenos Aires Grain Exchange, Bolsa de Cereales; and David Laborde Debucquet, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI; Sofia Perini, Economist, INAI Foundation (Institute for International Agricultural Negotiations), and moderated by Valeria Piñeiro, Senior Research Coordinator, IFPRI The 2030 Agenda calls on all countries to use trade to create a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient world. We must ensure that the global trading system actively contributes to sustainability. Trade policies offer an opportunity to promote a broad shift in production and consumption that helps consumers to make better choices. The European Union-Mercosur (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay) free trade agreement, recently announced after 20 years of negotiations, has not yet been ratified. If ratified, it would represent the largest trade deal struck by both the EU and Mercosur bringing together 779 million people, 24 trillion dollars of GDP and covering 18 million of square kilometers. Representing a quarter of the global GDP and could also presage a redistribution of agricultural market shares in the EU, the world’s second largest agricultural import market, for US-based exporters. The agreement may serve as a model for future deals, making it critical to get this one right. This discussion will consider fundamental questions about “greening” of the EU-Mercosur agreement: • How will the agreement impact trade in goods? • How will it protect standards, including environmental standards? • Can it promote sustainable farming in both regions? • How will it contribute to the fight against climate change? • Will commitments on environmental protection be enforceable?

Rich and Carola are discussing the published priorities of incoming EU Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen. As they have different views on her leadership, this discussion should be interesting, especially has they get stuck into the EU Green Deal. They cover the EU Emissions Trading System, Carbon Border Taxes, the EU Circular Economy, the frictions between Green and Global, and what this all means for individual households. On top of all these feel-good policies, they discuss if the recent EU-Mercosur trade deal between South America and the EU might bugger up any progress made, but they also take note of which nation really buggered up our planet…. and that puts our so positively viewed histories of the industrial revolution into a pretty sombre light.  Main Source Ursula Von Der Leyen: Political guidelines for the next Commission (2019-2024) - "A Union that strives for more: My agenda for Europe" 16 July 2019  (English Version) (https://ec.europa.eu/commission/interim_en) Theme – Carbon Emissions Potsdam Institute: Brief History of CO2 Emissions (Youtube Video).

Taking a look through this week's local papers and some of the motions discussed during Monday's regular County Council meeting. Gerry Reynold's departure from politics was the first item on the agenda before attention turned to the recent new arrivals in Carrick on Shannon and a discussion about the lack of communication surrounding the establishment of the residential centre in Hartley, on the outskirts of the county town. Minister Micheal Ring's trip to Leitrim last Friday to launch the new extension of the Shannon Blueway to the Lough Allen Hotel, Jinny's Tearooms at Acres and announcing the start of SMART Green Mohill, a rural revival and renewal scheme which will boost the fortunes of the town.
