MEPs have today voted to refer the Mercosur trade deal to the EU Court of Justice.

By a majority of just 10 votes, MEPs backed a resolution which will see the controversial Mercosur go to judicial review. This could delay the parliament being able to vote on the deal for up to 2 years, which is how long it usually takes for these types of judicial processes to work their way through.

To discuss this further, Ciara is joined by Ciaran Mullooly, Independent Ireland MEP.
