AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament adopted its position on a proposed EU law implementing the bilateral safeguard clause of the EU-Mercosur Partnership Agreement and the Interim Trade Agreement for agricultural products.

The law aims to protect sensitive EU agricultural sectors by allowing swift, proportionate safeguard measures when imports from Mercosur countries cause or threaten serious injury to EU producers.

Parliament's position includes amendments to the Commission's proposal, and it calls on the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially changes the text.
