Le rapport souligne le coût qui résulterait de la non-adoption de l’accord, mais il ne dit pas un seul mot sur le coût social qu’engendrerait la zone de libre-échange Union/Mercosur, car les accords de libre-échange conclus ces dernières décennies montrent très clairement que la libéralisation des relations commerciales qu’ils instaurent n’améliorent nullement la prospérité.
While the report does highlight the costs that would result from a failure to adopt the agreement, it devotes not a single word to the social costs that an EU/Mercosur free trade area would bring with it, for the free trade agreements reached over the past decades show with terrible clarity that the liberalisation of trading relationships laid down in them does nothing to help increase prosperity.
