The Parliament of Navarre will press the Spanish government to avoid establishing a free trade agreement between the EU and Mercosur

  • The letter proposed by Contigo-Zurekin explains that the new agreement between the main European and South American trade organizations would lead to the elimination of tariffs, harming local producers, especially small ones. The UPN, EH Bila, the PP and Vox vote for the motion, while the PSN and Geroa Bai vote against it.

91% of the products imported from Europe will be liberalized under the influence of the commercial entity Mercosur, which assumes Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Mexico. The European Union (EU) will address the following data in the recently adopted agreement: 92% will be products of American origin that will not pay tariffs.

The decision will concern a wide range of economic areas: agriculture in particular, but also the industrial sector (vehicles, capital goods, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, textiles and footwear) and the services sector (finance, telecommunications and maritime transport). The conclusion? Yes. A boost to the global market and to multinationals in Europe and South America, but to the detriment of small local producers.

In view of this problem, Contigo-Zurekin has submitted a motion to the Parliament of Navarre requesting the Government of Pedro Sánchez not to implement the agreement in the Spanish State. UPN, EH Bil, PP and Vox support the proposal and support the text, while PSN and Geroa Bai vote against it. To the points initially included in the motion, the UPN, by means of an amendment, has added to the Spanish Government a requirement that it neither sign nor ratify this free trade agreement.

Likewise, all the parliamentary groups have unanimously approved three other points included in the UPN’s contribution addressed to the Government of Navarre: first, they have asked it to immediately start pressuring the Spanish Government to establish “mirror clauses” that oblige South American companies to have the same production and health conditions that the European Union demands within its borders. Secondly, to ask the Spanish Government to defend the interests of the primary sector in Navarre. And finally, if the agreement is confirmed, specify the measures to protect the Navarrese producers.

Likewise, all parties agree to request the Provincial Government to prepare a report on the possible consequences of the agreement between the EU and Mercosur. They will also call on the European Commission to implement a common first-sector policy to support local farming and ensure a sustainable economy.
