Greenpeace and other environmental and human rights organisations sent a letter to the European Commission, calling on Commissioners to resist attempts to water down the EU’s forest protection rules in favour of trade agreements.
According to Profundo’s research, JBS, the largest meat producer on earth, could gain €1.7 billion in extra profits before tax and €1.2 billion after tax by 2040 if the EU-Mercosur deal is adopted.
The EU's deforestation law will be delayed after right-wing attempts to gut it failed, but the EU-Mercosur trade deal could still deal the deforestation law a fatal blow
Greenpeace calls on all policy-makers throughout Europe and Mercosur countries to listen to the widespread public opposition and vote against this toxic trade deal.
