The thing is, a fund & a reserve seem quite different to me. A reserve only kicks in AFTER bad things have happened, while a fund can help smooth the transition

Commission is hazy on details of this €€ for the moment, saying it will be part of discussions on the next EU budget

Whether a fund or a reserve is not yet clear, but there will be "some sort of insurance policy" for farmers & rural areas to help sweeten the Mercosur deal, the Commission says. But it "doesn't believe it will ever be required because of the protections built into the agreement"
