Trade deals reduce the price of goods, including food.
In this case, the much-discussed beef issue is over a fairly small 90,000 ton quota of beef, compared to the ~7.2 million tons of beef that the EU produces.

Absolutely fantastic news! Small-minded and self-interested scaremongers spreading misinformation on this

CETA is provisionally active since 8 1/2 years, and the farmers are still getting most of the subsidies in the EU….if we had invested this much in energy production, conservation and storage, we wouldn’t be half as bothered by the Israel/US attack on Iran, economically at least…..

I think the beef aspect of this deal is a bit of a non issue, I do worry that importing more soy from this part of of the world right now doesn’t bode well for the Amazon rainforest.
I think there are environmental conditions in the treaty but they lack enforcement.

Got to love Irish farmers, it’s fine for them to impact other local farmers in other country’s when they export. But they hate anyone else exporting to Ireland.

Our TD’s now have the same amount of power as country councillors had 25 years ago
