Committee on European Union Affairs

Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Karen Ciesielski:

I will come in on the Mercosur point. It is an interesting one because we in the environmental pillar are aligned with farming bodies on many things, including the Mercosur deal. We think it is a bad deal for the environment. Instead of arguing for increased deforestation, water pollution and air miles, we need to transform the way we produce food and use land. Mercosur will certainly not get us there. That is something we are on the same page as farming bodies on. I do not know if others wanted to come in on other points.
