On 9 July at 12:30 EURACTIV are holding a Twitter Chat on the topic: "EU agriculture and trade - Free trade agreements: help or hindrance for the EU agrifood sector?" @eaAgriFood will be tweeting out the following questions for twitter users to get involved: Q1: How can trade help support some of the agrifood sectors most affected by COVID-19? Q2: How can the EU balance the promotion of short supply chains in the F2F with the thrust towards increased agrifood export? Q3: Mercosur: the next big thing or too many expectations? Q4: What are the implications for the EU-UK trade relationship if the UK chooses to move away from EU standards?   See here for an example of a previous EURACTIV Twitter Chat.
