On chris welcome to the program it is the largest trade deal ever struck by the European Union naturally they were a big round of applause in brussels this week when the e. U. Announced its agreement with south american nations brazil argentina uruguay and part but could the deal be a headache for europe in the coming months or even a failure a vocal opposition suggests ratifying the deal wont be easy. After the celebration comes the backlash french farmers are among those coming out against the methods or agreement brussels says it will bring their products to new markets while saving 4000000000. 00 euros in customs but many worry about the effects on their local market. And the markets hang by a very fragile balance we add a little more volume prices will collapse and if prices collapse there is no life for us.

I ask those who are against any trade agreement to explain to me how they will dress eat travel lets say the deal still has a long way to go before entering full force it needs approval by e. U. Governments the European Parliament and 40 National Parliaments if the opposition continues any could be a possible point to failure.
