EU plans Donald Trump-style import ban on food

EU plans Donald Trump-style import ban on food
SHARE

The European Union is taking steps to block imports of certain food products that do not meet its standards in order to protect its farmers. This move is reminiscent of US President Donald Trump’s “reciprocal” trade policy, which aims to ensure fair treatment for American products in international markets.

The European Commission is set to approve measures to limit imports that do not adhere to EU regulations. This decision could potentially target crops such as soybeans from the US, which are grown using pesticides that are not permitted in the EU. Health commissioner Olivér Várhelyi emphasized the importance of maintaining consistent standards for imported products, stating that anything banned in the EU should also be banned in imported goods.

President Trump has criticized countries that restrict US products, including the EU, which has imposed restrictions on shellfish from most US states. He has threatened to impose tariffs on countries that do not change their policies regarding US exports.

While some member states, like France, have called for reciprocal treatment in trade agreements, the European Commission has been cautious due to concerns about potential violations of WTO rules. The EU only allows restrictions on imports based on scientific evidence that does not discriminate against specific countries.

The EU’s plan to regulate imports is outlined in a Vision for Agriculture roadmap developed by farm commissioner Christophe Hansen. The goal is to align with international rules while ensuring the competitiveness of European farmers. The focus will be on restricting the use of hazardous pesticides in imported food products.

Pesticide Action Network Europe has identified banned substances in imported goods, including pesticides that are harmful to bees and other pollinators. These chemicals often exceed legal residue limits, posing a risk to European consumers’ health. The EU aims to address these concerns by implementing stricter regulations on imported products.

In addition to food safety measures, the EU will also incorporate higher animal welfare standards in future trade agreements. This includes regulations on the treatment of animals in farming practices, such as ensuring adequate space for hens and calves and maintaining clean living conditions. These standards are designed to enhance public support for trade deals and address concerns about their impact on farmers and the environment.

Overall, the EU’s efforts to regulate imports and improve food safety standards reflect a commitment to protecting the interests of European farmers and consumers. By maintaining strict regulations and aligning with international standards, the EU aims to ensure the quality and safety of food products available in the European market.
