The European Union has implemented the blockade on the import of beef and poultry meat originating from Brazil. The measure prevents the purchase of these products by member countries of the European bloc.
Brazil is directly affected by the restriction, which impacts two of the main agricultural products exported by the country to the European market. The EU's accusation is that Brazil would not be complying with the sanitary rules required for meat exports.
The measure represents a significant obstacle for the Brazilian livestock sector, which depended on the European market as a destination for part of its production. The blockade changes the commercial relations between the European bloc and Brazil in the animal protein sector.
