After 25 years of negotiations, the EU’s agreement with Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay could finally be sealed by the year’s end. But European farmers are mobilizing, accusing Brussels of sacrificing agriculture to boost industry. But are the farmers’ fears justified?

This programme is produced by the European platform ARTE and made available in 9 languages through a European media partnership named EMOVE Hub. The hub is coordinated by ARTE and includes El País (ES), Gazeta Wyborcza (PL), Internazionale (IT), Ir, (LV), Kathimerini (GR), Le Soir (BE) and Telex (HU). The partnership receives EU-funding following DG CNECT’s call for „European Media Hubs” within the framework of the EU’s Multimedia Actions.
