The European People’s Party (EPP) has published a position on its website opposing the referral of the EU-Mercosur agreement to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU)
“The EPP Group believes that suspending the agreement would undermine Europe’s credibility as a global player,” said the political group, as cited by wPolityce. Notably, the EPP, which pushed out Viktor Orban’s Fidesz party in 2021, includes Civic Coalition (KO), led by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, and the Polish People’s Party (PSL).
“Delaying Mercosur deal weakens Europe,” the EPP statement was titled, as the group made it clear that it unequivocally opposes referring the Mercosur agreement to the European Court of Justice.
