EU-Mercosur Deal Faces French Resistance

France's National Assembly passed a resolution on November 25 to oppose the EU-Mercosur trade deal.
The deal, negotiated over 25 years, aims to create a market of 700+ million consumers.
French farmers fear cheaper South American beef and banned substances reentering EU food chains.
Matthias Tavel called the deal 'deadly' for agriculture and climate.
Ratification requires EU Council and Parliament approval, with France seeking alliances.
Ursula von der Leyen aims to finalize the deal by December 5-6, with Lula expected to sign on December 20.
