Cikk tartalma röviden

The European Commission is making concessions to European farmers to finalize the Mercosur trade deal with Latin America, responding to demands from Italy and France. Italy is open to signing soon, while France is cautious due to upcoming protests. The Commission has suspended the EU carbon border tax on fertilizers and agreed to unlock early funding for farmers. Italy's Agriculture Minister indicates that if commitments are certified, Italy will support the deal, while France remains hesitant amid a deep agricultural crisis.
