Report:
Copa-Cogeca enquired over the state of play over a prospective
EU-Mercosur deal
impact on the EU beef market, recalling that since the beginning of the EU-Mercosur
negotiations, in 2000, the world has changed substantially. Copa-Cogeca highlights a
27% drop of beef consumption in the EU over the last twenty years, as well as reduction
of EU beef imports. This means that for Copa-Cogeca the 300,000 t envelope agreed in
2008 is no longer up-to-date and it needs to be revisited downwards. Copa-Cogeca
mentioned that DG AGRI is already working on this recalculation.
