Brazilian exports to be banned from the EU

Due to non-compliance with antimicrobial medicine use, Brazil will not be permitted to export animal-produced products to the EU

Brazilian imports, including beef, will be banned from entering the EU from September 3.

Brazil was not among the updated list of third countries authorised to export food-producing animals and animal products to the EU.

The list, published on May 12, compiles countries that have proven their compliance with EU restrictions on antimicrobial use in food-producing animals.
