European Union suspends imports of Brazilian meat starting Thursday

The European Union announced that it will suspend starting Thursday the imports of beef, poultry meat, eggs, and honey from Brazil. The European Commission justifies the measure due to insufficient guarantees from Brazil regarding compliance with European standards against the abusive use of antibiotics in livestock. The spokesperson for the European Executive stated that Brazil is an important partner of the EU and that they are working constructively with Brazilian authorities to ensure compliance with the requirements, allowing the resumption of exports after such compliance is demonstrated. Brussels did not provide a timeline for the normalization of imports.
