Another Battle Lost

The European Union has accepted the mandate of Mercosur and will allow imports from its trade bloc. The farmers protest in France has been overlooked and their concerns have been thwarted for now. The trade is expected to bring gain to the economy and will make the European Union more industrious. The farmers concerns should have been addressed and their problems given the attention that they deserved. The farmers have lost another battle to the bureaucracy in Brussels. The commercial interests of the farmers should have been protected as they serve the food needs of the nation. Any trade should not have winners and losers, and all parties that are selling the product should have a say in the fair dealings that a business enterprise symbolizes. The farmers in France should be given protection amid growing commercial unrest. Although the European Union vows for free trade and has decided to permit free trade to flourish between the nations. The interests of the farmers have taken a political backseat at the moment, but their duly obligated need for commerce should be considered significant.

The European Union has taken a considerable rightward shift in its public policies and does not worry itself over all the parties that might gain or lose from their bureaucratic actions. The livelihoods of the farmers must be given the protection that they require, and all effort must be put in safeguarding their interests for the future. The posterity shall be a judge on the inaction on the part of European Union. Most nations that are prosperous have become so using the principles of trade. Principles of trade must be applied aptly in order to bring benefits to the intended beneficiaries. Any failure in doing so would hamper the interests of the nation. France should have raised its voice for the French farmers rather than leaving the baton of diplomacy aside. The rightward tilt that the European Union is taking on public matters should become a matter of concern. The benefits that are due to farmers must go to farmers. Abjuring their interest will allow productivity to become a misnomer of politics. The farmers work sufficiently hard for their nation, they provide food on the table of the diners every day. Their concerns should have been given the privilege that they rightfully acknowledge. The protest in Paris has gone in vain, and the politics has become a new business to deal with. The French farmers have lost another battle to the onslaught of careless trading.
