Sinn Féin MEP Lynn Boylan has been named as the Rapporteur of the opinion on Mercosur in the Environment committee in the European Parliament.
Speaking after the announcement, the Dublin MEP said:
“I’m delighted to be named as the Rapporteur of the opinion on Mercosur for the Environment committee.
“This means that I’ll be responsible for creating a report on the committee’s position on Mercosur and its impacts on climate and food safety to the parliament.
“This is an opportunity to set out our real concerns about Mercosur and push back against the bad decisions, and de-regulation that the EU has pushed for in recent months.
“The Mercosur deal is a bad deal for Ireland.
“I am determined to work every day to protect our climate, our economy and our farmers from the impacts of this rotten trade deal.”
