Question 6264 — foreign trade

Summary

Mr. Max Mathiasin alerts the Minister of Agriculture and Food about the conformity with European phytosanitary standards of products coming from Mercosur at a time when the negotiations of the free trade agreement with the European Union (EU) are taking place. French farmers, such as West Indian banana producers or beef and poultry breeders, fear the arrival of products on the shelves South American products which meet much less demanding standards than those in force in Europe and present no health safety despite the labels displayed, organic among others. This unfair competition would destabilize the entire agricultural sector and endanger the health of consumers. He asks what guarantees are taken in the EU-Mercosur negotiations to ensure the conformity of imported products with European phytosanitary standards and what controls are planned once the South American market opens.
