Prime Minister Donald Tusk wants to protect EU’s largest poultry producers
Poland has joined a French-led attempt to block an EU free trade deal with Latin American countries that Brussels casts as essential to boosting economic ties at a time of rising global trade tensions. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said he wanted to send a “political message” that Warsaw could not accept the current terms of a trade deal that would hurt its agricultural sector. Poland is the EU’s biggest poultry producer.
Four or more states representing at least 35 per cent of the EU’s population need to vote against in order to block the deal. Germany, Spain and many other member states have pushed hard for the deal, sealed in principle in 2019 but stuck in limbo since. The EU has asked for additional environmental commitments while Brazil wants protection for its electric vehicle industry. Valdis Dombrovskis, the EU’s trade commissioner, said last week that talks were continuing to iron out the final issues.
