Conservative MEP says Tusk surrendered on Mercosur deal– rmx.news Source Link Excerpt:
Last week, the European Commission adopted the EU-Mercosur free trade agreement, but to enter into force, it must be approved by the EU Parliament and member states in a vote at the EU Council.
Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced on Wednesday that Poland would, of course, vote against it, but he also noted there would be insufficient votes to block the agreement, reports Do Rzeczy.
Ratification of the EU-Mercosur agreement requires the consent of the European Parliament and 15 states representing at least 65% of the EU population. Therefore, to reject the agreement, a so-called blocking minority—a coalition of at least four states representing 35% of the EU population—is necessary.
Law and Justice (PiS) MEP Waldemar Buda says Donald Tusk has simply waved a “white flag” on the matter.
