Podcast No. 12 – Poisonous business: How the EU-Mercosur agreement promotes trade in pesticides

# 12

The export of highly dangerous pesticides banned in the EU to the Mercosur region and the re-import in the form of food are threatening consequences of the EU-Mercosur agreement. Our trade expert Bettina Müller tells us in this episode of Kompass Weltwirtschaft why the agreement reduces the export of these pesticides, what the consequences are for the people on the ground and in the EU and what German chemical companies have to do with it.
