Mercosur Agreement

AUR MEPs accuse the European Commission of preparing the signing of the EU-MERCOSUR Agreement without a legal mandate from the EU Council and warn that Ursula von der Leyen does not have the right to initial the document in the absence of a formal decision by the ministers of the member states.

The fast-track signing of the Mercosur Agreement by Romania has raised many questions both in the governing coalition, which accuses the lack of transparency of the signing, and in the professional associations of Romanian farmers.
