"This is a win-win agreement, which will bring meaningful benefits to consumers and businesses, on both sides," von der Leyen said. She emphasized that the deal is focused on fairness and mutual benefit, intending to protect over 350 EU products with geographical indications, all while maintaining EU health and food standards."
"Opponents argue that the deal would lead to cheap imports of South American commodities that do not meet the EU's green and food safety standards. The most glaring concern is the import of beef from the Latin American countries, which could undermine local agricultural practices and environmental standards that have been established in Europe."
