Brazilia reacționează cu furie după ce UE a suspendat joi importurile de carne. „Nu e nevoie de control pe carnea noastră”

Pedro Miguel da Costa e Silva stated that an inspection of Brazilian meat is unnecessary, emphasizing that Brazil has provided sufficient guarantees. The European Commission recently banned Brazilian meat imports due to safety concerns regarding antibiotic use. The Brazilian government expressed anger over the ban and threatened countermeasures. While an audit for poultry and honey is ongoing, Brazil has not met the requirements for beef. The EU insists on strict food safety standards, which have been communicated to third countries for years. The dispute arises amid a provisional free trade agreement between Mercosur countries and the EU, which has faced opposition from EU farmers concerned about food safety.
