MEP Lucas Foulas of DISY expressed his opposition to the Mercosur agreement during the European Parliament plenary session. He emphasized that the agreement has been under negotiation for 25 years and that all parties involved should be held accountable. Mr. Foulas clarified that he will not vote for anything that harms Cypriot farmers. The matter has been referred to the Court of Justice of the European Union for an opinion, which could take up to 24 months. During the waiting period, the European Commission may provisionally implement certain parts of the agreement.
