Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I met President Juncker in Tallinn a couple of days ago and it was one of the issues we discussed. I expressed the view of the Government, which is that we do not just export our products; we export our standards, and we would expect that the standards should be the same in the Mercosur countries as they are in Europe when it comes to animal health, animal welfare, traceability, safety and other matters. I also expressed our view that the volumes should be limited and any such offer on that scale would not be supported by Ireland.
