The import of Brazilian meat is suspended in the European Union. The decision represents a significant trade barrier for the Brazilian livestock sector.
The European Union justifies the measure by stating that Brazil does not comply with the community rules established for the import of meat products.
According to the European body, consuming Brazilian meat poses risks to the health of European consumers, which motivated the implementation of the suspension.
The measure directly affects Brazilian meat exports, which will need to meet stricter requirements to regain access to the European market.
