Where do you get that figure from? This trade deal actually restricts trade - it imposes tariffs and penalises exporters, importers and consumers. It is the opposite of what trade deals normally do which is to improve terms of trade and reduce barriers!

🟥2💰A 20% budget CUT for the CAP ! Agriculture is on the frontline of climate, economic & geopolitical crises, yet the Commission slashes support to <15% of the EU budget. The Commission’s approach is purely and simply a strategic and historic misstep.
