This second episode of Re-thinking Europe explores the EU's trade and sustainable development policies and their impact on small farmers and workers, especially in the Global South. With Sergi Corbalan, international trade advisor for the Greens/EFA group in the European Parliament, we discuss the successes and challenges at the intersection of trade and sustainable development policy. 

What have been the major successes and shortcomings in the “greening” of EU trade policy over the last 4 years? What can we expect by the end of the mandate? Will the EU be able to conclude the EU-Mercosur agreement after 2 decades of negotiations? 

In this episode, you will also hear Virginia Enssle, International and Institutional Relations Manager at the Fair Trade Advocacy Office, telling us more about her journey as a social justice advocate.
