EU and Mercosur agree huge trade deal after 20-year talks

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-48807161

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.

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
 
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 .


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.
