À propos du Mercosur, c’est simple: il est normal de vouloir que ce qui est produit à l’extérieur et importé sur le marché européen respecte les mêmes normes que ce qui est produit en Europe.
Sinon ce serait de la concurrence déloyale. Et aussi une prise de risque pour les consommateurs.

« Ukraine’s security is Europe’s security. »
As Europe and its partners are fully engaged in the search for a just and sustainable peace, last night Russia escalated its attacks on Kyiv, with missiles and drones even violating Moldovan and Romanian airspace.
It is yet another reminder that Ukraine’s security is Europe’s security.

New: I can confirm hasty US-Russia proposal being pushed to Ukrainians via Dmitriev-Witkoff to Umerov. It would amount to Ukraine’s capitulation, with people familiar saying it’s Kremlin’s maximalist demands.
