Attuazione della clausola di salvaguardia bilaterale dell'accordo di partenariato UE-Mercosur e dell'accordo interinale sugli scambi UE-Mercosur per i prodotti agricoli

Di cosa si tratta?

• 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.
