The Independent MEP Marian Harkin is
calling for a slowing down of EU trade deals with major trading blocs such as
Canada, the US and the Mercosur group of South American countries. Ms Harkin
was speaking in the European Parliament where MEPs questioned the EU’s Trade
Commissioner on news that a beef deal had been withdrawn from trade
negotiations with the Mercosur states. However,
Marian Harkin is warning the EU needs to put the brakes on other major deals
such as the TTIP deal being negotiated between the EU and the US.
