Farmers cook during a protest by European farmers against the free trade agreement between the European Union and the Mercosur countries, ahead a vote on a referral to the courts, in front of the European Parliament in Strasbourg on January 21, 2026. Called by the FNSEA, France's leading national agricultural union, some 4,000 farmers from across the European Union, including Italy, Belgium, and Germany, are expected to attend the protest. MEPs will not vote on the entire agreement with Mercosur until the coming months, but they are set to vote on Wednesday on whether to refer the matter to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).
