Travel guide: EU-Mercosur - A toxic agreement

The "Travel guide: EU-Mercosur - a toxic agreement" leads to the most popular destinations of pesticides produced in Germany, in this case in the four Mercosur states: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. The trade agreement that the EU has concluded (but not yet signed) with these countries would favour the import of pesticides into Mercosur. It also promotes an agricultural model that depends on the consumption of large quantities of pesticides. German pesticide manufacturers such as Bayer and BASF, who already export pesticides to this region today, would also benefit from those that are not approved in the EU due to their hazardous nature.

More information on how the EU-Mercosur agreement promotes the trade in pesticides, contributes to the deforestation of the rainforest and to the poisoning of people and the environment, especially in the Mercosur countries, can be found in the publication "EU-Mercosur - a toxic agreement", which PowerShift publishes together with Naturefriends, ATTAC Germany, AndersHandeln Austria, the Forum Environment and Development, the Research and Documentation Centre Chile-Latin America (FDCL) and Campact.
