Mercosul agreement...
It's a two sided agreement, products/goods (and perhaps services) can move back and forth. We only hear about the agricultural aspect of it, which I also noted. That aspect would not be bad if Europe handled agriculture better, farmers could compete. But from all the noise the political right (such as Orbán and co.) make it's hard to see the positives - if there are any - because there should be, duties/tariffs will be dropped for EU exports too.
So this article below says:
>EU exports are dominated by machinery, chemicals, transport equipment, textiles, and chocolate, while Mercosur largely sells agricultural goods, critical minerals and pulp.
>European industry, notably machinery makers and producers of wine, cheese and spirits stand to benefit
These are the SouthAm products EU farmers fear:
>beef, ethanol, pork, honey, sugar, and poultry

Anyway, my impression is that the scaremongering that comes from the "Patriots" is more out of their role as the mouthpiece of Trump admin, than their worries about the farmers. In general they are an USAian Trojan horse.
Free trade for EU anywhere in the world is bad for US.
