What is this about?

  • This regulation establishes a bilateral safeguard clause for agricultural products under the EU-MERCOSUR agreement.
  • Its aim is to protect sensitive agricultural sectors from market disruptions caused by increased imports from Mercosur countries.
  • The Commission is required to continuously monitor imports of sensitive products and submit quarterly reports.
  • Thresholds for triggering safeguard measures have been lowered to enable faster responses to price pressures or volume increases.
  • Politically, this seeks to strengthen confidence in the trade agreement and ensure fair competition.
