Thousands of farmers and ranchers, alongside hundreds of tractors, rallied in central Madrid on Wednesday (Feb. 11) to protest expected cuts in the next Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and to denounce the European Union’s trade agreement with Mercosur, according to organisers and authorities. The demonstration was called by Unión de Uniones de Agricultores y Ganaderos and the National Union of Independent Primary Sector Associations (Unaspi). Organisers claimed around 8,000 participants and 500 tractors, while Spain’s government delegation in Madrid put the turnout at 2,500 people and 367 tractors, adding that there were no major incidents. Protesters carried banners and chanted slogans targeting both the CAP and Mercosur, including messages such as “No to Mercosur” and warnings that CAP cuts and trade liberalisation would undermine farm viability. Luis Cortés, national coordinator of Unión de Uniones, argued that “the Mercosur deal is not a good trade agreement”.

Fuel retailers in Brazil are under investigation after São Paulo’s consumer protection authority launched an enforcement operation targeting alleged misleading promotions at petrol stations. The action places fuel retail pricing and promotional transparency under renewed regulatory scrutiny in Latin America’s largest economy. Latin AmProcon-SP, the consumer protection regulator for the state of São Paulo, said the operation focused on fuel stations advertising discounts or special offers that may not have been clearly explained to motorists. Inspectors assessed whether promotional mechanics complied with Brazil’s Consumer Defence Code, which requires retailers to provide clear and accurate pricing information.

With one of the world's largest shares of renewables in its energy generation mix, Brazil offers opportunities for companies in the country seeking to reduce their emissions. For example, Brazil is close to implementing a market for carbon certificates that will change the way companies operate, potentially requiring compensation mechanisms for businesses with annual emissions exceeding 25,000 metric tons of CO2. Increasing technical knowledge to navigate the many regulatory challenges and existing certifications in the country is key to reducing the carbon footprint and meeting low-emission targets, in the view of Fernando Giachini Lopes, executive director of Totum Institute, the Brazilian organization that issues International Renewable Energy Certificates and also numerous other accreditation initiatives.
