00:00Will the EU-Mercosur agreement really bring toxic food to our plates?
00:05Several MEPs along with consu-
00:10and farmers' organization are warning that the Mercosur deal could lead to food imports
00:15containing substances that are banned in the EU.
00:17The European Commission, however,
00:19from the EU-Mercosur agreement
00:20really denies these claims.
00:21The Commission is clear EU food safety rules are here to stay.
00:25Pesticides residues are only allowed below European Food Safety Authority limits.
00:30And controls, the Commission says,
00:32will be enforced at every stage from borders to the EU.
00:35The EU-Mercosur checks by member states to on-the-ground audits in Mercosur countries.
00:39But here is the key...
00:40point.
00:41These controls are not new.
00:42The EU already imports large quantities of
00:45food from Mercosur countries today under the same sanitary framework.
00:50Are those controls really efficient?
00:52What we see with Foodwatch is that
00:55the current regulation of control in the EU-Mercosur is not enough,
00:59and the means...
01:00of the EU-Mercosur to do it,
01:01it is not enough.
01:02Tant that it is legal to take off the oil...
