      This is how standards die. 

      It’s shameful of anyone in Europe to back this. 

      No standards – no trade.

      Horrible, there is a very good reason these are banned. EU is weak.

      « Cattle ranching in the Brazilian Amazon has been identified as the primary cause of deforestation, accounting for about 80% of all deforestation in the region. This makes it the world’s largest single driver of deforestation, contributing to approximately 14% of the global annual deforestation. »

      Just check incoming imports, and stop anything not in alignment to EU regulations, like in all normal trade. It is shameful that a small country like Ireland, that has benefited so greatly from its EU membership, is trying to selfishly hurt the economy of the EU as a whole, by blocking a deal that is great for our economy, and can help mitigate the damage brought by Trumps trade war…

      For anyone curious what the “banned” Hormone is its “17-beta estradiol” most commonly used by menopausal women for HRT, ironically a medication that’s been in shortage for some time.

      It was approximately 128kg of beef (for perspective 300+ tons of cocaine are seized each year in the EU) mixed in with legitimate beef and was traced and  removed from sale.

      This is far less than the horse meat that EU countries mixed into beef a few years back and widely distributed, again illegaly.

      Criminals gonna crime, not really relevant to the trade deal.

      Please read the mentioned article *carefully* before commenting. It is NOT happening that “contaminated” beef will be *allowed* to enter EU. What actually happened is that a single batch of this beef has been intercepted at the frontier and sent back. EU will always remain a “hormone-free” area.

      wtf the whole point in rejecting American food if others do the same. It’s becoming so hard to just live now gotta do so much research on what ways companies are trying to stiff you.

      Why does the EU want to allow imports of Mercosur foods, while maintains production quotas at home?

      I understood quotas are intended to stabilise prices, but now we are undercutting those “stable” prices with imports. Would it not make more sense to increase the quotas?

      Hey OP, can you next time post just the link to the news article, not the link to another Reddit post?

      > A trade deal with the Americans is bad because there is a chance our food standards might drop
