About 50 parliamentarians Republicans including the deputy and party candidate Guillaume Larrivé say "no to the EU-Mercosur agreement", calling the trade treaty "economic error and ecological horror", in a forum published in The Parisian Sunday.
For the elected LR signatories of the forum this agreement "is contrary to the national interest". Among the signatories are - in addition to the elected Yonne - MPs Damien Abad, Eric Ciotti and Annie Genevard, Senator Martine Berthet, or MEPs Brice Hortefeux and Arnaud Danjean.
Macron and "bureaucratic ecology"
"How can we justify imposing ever more standards on French breeders, while opening our doors to agricultural products that do not respect them?", Ask the parliamentarians in particular. They argue for "creating an ecological barrier at Europe's borders to prevent imports from countries that do not meet our environmental standards".
"We want to contribute imported products to the level of the greenhouse gas emitted for their transport", they say, reproaching the Head of State to prefer "bureaucratic ecology" by multiplying the dedicated bodies (High Council for the climate, Citizen Convention ...).
