European Parliament freezes the EU–Mercosur deal and refers it to the EU Court of Justice.
Today, the European Parliament took an important step by freezing the EU–Mercosur trade agreement and referring it to the Court of Justice of the European Union.
334 Members of the European Parliament voted in favour. We won!
EBA played a clear and active role in this outcome.
EBA intensively and directly informed Members of the European Parliament, including through an official letter sent to all 720 MEPs, clearly outlining the serious risks posed by the EU–Mercosur deal.
This was not a coincidence.
It is the result of coordinated advocacy, strong arguments, and persistent work by EBA and beekeepers across Europe.
Thank you to everyone who supported, shared, and stood with us.
This decision shows that citizen action works. But the fight is not over. We will continue to defend bees, beekeepers, sustainable agriculture, and fair trade.
The deal is frozen – not defeated. We stay alert.
Boštjan Noč, president od the EBA
