Treaty Talk

A few days ago, I noted the newly signed EU-South America trade agreement (taking 20 years to complete).  It came up today....that France hasn't exactly signed off, and they are now insisting on various words to be added....to ensure the happiness of their farmers.

Does the agreement require all 28 member states to sign off?  Yes.  It's possible that the agreement will stall, and falter.....if some agricultural changes aren't made. 

German farmers negative as well?  Yes. 

In fact, you can go across almost all of the EU and find that in virtually every single country.....farmers are hyped up and negative about the trade agreement.
