Parliamentary questions
16 April 2012
P-003928/2012
Question for written answer
to the Commission
Rule 117
Esther Herranz García (PPE)

 Subject: Trade agreement with Mercosur
 Answer(s) 

The trade agreement with Mercosur is currently being negotiated, which could lead to increased agricultural exports from these countries to the European Union. Legislation on quality control and consumer protection is very strict for EU producers, which go to great lengths to comply with it and thus compete with Mercosur producers on unequal terms.

— What quality and consumer protection standards does the Commission require of products from Mercosur countries?
— Does the Commission perform inspections in these countries to ensure compliance with EU legislation?
