      Deal is expected to be signed on Jan 27th.

      The deal would be the EU’s largest to date, opening access to a market representing around 25% of the world’s population.

      Agriculture remains politically sensitive in New Delhi, with 44% of India’s workforce employed in the sector, making further EU access to its food markets highly contentious.

      Brussels had already confirmed that some agricultural products would be excluded from the talks, including dairy and sugar. However, it appears that not all food and drink products will be excluded from the deal.

      “Meanwhile, protections for European traditional foods, known as geographical indications, are also off the table for this agreement.”

      Not great.

      It’s fairly normal to have high tariffs on agricultural products. No country want to fuck over their own food security regardless of the price advantages. Plus farmers historically have a lot of political connections.

      Making a free trade agreement with a country with low wages, terrible worker rights, and environmental protections and who is helping Russia to boot. Neo-liberalism is what has led to this entire nihlistic far right world, and there is no way that corporations and their politicians are ever gonna stop it.
