AKEL-EDEK-Greens Resolution on Mercosur Agreement

AKEL, EDEK, the Citizens' Cooperation Movement of Ecologists, and MPs Christos Orphanides and Pavlos Mylonas have reached a joint resolution calling on the European Commission and the EU Council not to proceed with the provisional application of the Mercosur agreement before the decision of the European Court of Justice. The resolution was adopted during a joint session of the House Committees on Agriculture and Foreign Affairs and will be submitted to the Plenary. The signatories express concerns about the detrimental effects of the agreement on the agricultural sector of the EU and Cyprus, as well as the risks to consumer health from the import of products with lower standards.
