Mercosur wants to increase exports of beef, sugar, poultry and other farm products.

In a statement, Brazil said the deal included eliminating tariffs on products such as orange juice, instant coffee and fruit.

Meanwhile, producers of other products such as meat, sugar and ethanol would have greater access to the EU market through quotas, the statement said.

Haven't looked at the detail .. might do later this weekend but busy.

He knows in a few weeks he will be out of a job when Boris puts someone in the job who can actually do it

So how will mercosur benefit EU farmers?
How will it benefit the Amazon rainforest?
What about the EU concerns on climate change?
How will it benefit German car makers?
And they reckon Germany don't run the EU.

Games up for beef farmers in or out of the eu. Both Hunt and Bojo are advocating zero tariffs in the event of no deal.

If the EU don't reciprocate they are more nefarious than we already think .

Why would they. Trade rules are set by the powerful rather than the Marquis of Queensbury.

Didn’t learn then, haven’t learned now.
U.K. and RoI shouldn’t be importing beef, save a lot of transport fuel and save the planet!

I'm waiting for @Cowabunga to tell us we're still better off staying in the EU in light of the this apocalyptic news , they're just a bunch of crooks only interested in feathering their own nests . or more relevantly Germany's

Pretty obvious that zero tariffs don't work.

Every industry needs a core within every country (Where possible).

China funds all of it's industry using the central bank .. and here in the UK we get the usual it's illegal to fund British Steel.

Someone is lying.
