The Polish government, and previously the Ministry of Agriculture and Development of Village has defined its position regarding the EU agreement with Mercosur countries. There has been explicit opposition, seeking allies on the arena of the EU to block it. After loud protests, mostly in Poland and in France the issue has quieted down. No one hears about the diplomatic offensive and the seeking of other allies to block this agreement. Everyone is living with updates, because you know there are no difficult topics. However the agreement is translated and probably distributed and discussed in countries in the Community. Brussels grinds slowly, but in finally it will be time for its entry in life. What will then, will the opposition come only from Poland and France? If yes, that is decidedly not enough, to change the course of its ratification.
Poland agriculture burdened with credit
We asked Jozef Wiśniewski, president of Wipash, for comment on the agreement with countries Mercosur . In conversation he emphasizes, that Poland is typically an agricultural country and we do not sell the proverbial cars or advanced technology, to directly benefit from this agreement. Stresses, to remember about one:
– we have developed our agriculture in an incredible way, but through hard day work, additionally burdened with strong financing credit. This should be remembered, for all hasty decisions. I look at this agreement, as an incredible threat, because I see here only, that the EU is trying in an inept way to save the German economy – President Wisniewski says.
Double standards
President Wiśniewski mentions, that the Polish agricultural sector, though strong and resilient, is today very fast losing its competitiveness.
– EU wants to be today the advocate of the whole world. We want to eliminate carbon dioxide, to fight against global warming, we tighten the screw, and at the same time we keep eye on standards in Argentina, or in Brazil. This is a great fraud and I am convinced, that it will not only in us, but in our next generation. Mercosur is the use of meat and bone, a series of banned in us pesticides, antibiotics, expensive gas, which for us, for heating our buildings is not available. We have a powerful agricultural industry, which very quickly is losing its competitive edge. Not enough already only our creativity and entrepreneurship, we need a strategy for theagriculture, problems. In every business there is a strategy and in every business there must be some assumptions and these are either good or bad. I today such strategy does not see.
Protect EU agriculture
What about Poland’s opposition to Mercosur says the President Wipash? – Today Poland’s position, regarding the agreement with Mercosur is fundamental. Who has until this time allowed, to make possible profits of heavy industry to build at the cost of EU and Poland agriculture? Why is someone today in such a threatening attack our interests? In European Union, this policy should be conducted over divisions. In my opinion in a clear way this threat should be today communicated to the public. I remind you how it
was in the Covid time, they formed very strong egoisms nationally. Well, that these have emerged, this has shown us clearly,
that each defends and protects their best. I If we cause Europe to become dependent on external agricultural sources, such as
food, this will be an immense threat to Europe. Europe should always be self-sufficient in supply of food.
