Stand with Farmers: No to EU-MERCOSUR trade deal
We are calling on you to stand with farmers and vote against this environmentally damaging trade deal which will risk food safety and livelihoods.
Why is this important?
The air we breathe, the food we eat and the jobs in our communities are at serious risk because of this deal.
This trade deal between the EU and Mercosur would allow beef, soy, and other food commodities to be fast-tracked into Europe, fattening corporate pockets on both sides at the expense of people, communities, and nature.
There's a lot to reject in this deal; Irish farmers’ livelihoods would be decimated as cheap beef is fast-tracked into Europe from South America, large scale sugar and tobacco imports landing on our shelves, poorer quality food standards, and the levelling of rainforests.

Join us in showing the Irish government that the public is against this dodgy trade deal by signing your name and sharing with your family and friends.
