Brazil’s ambassador to the European Union has warned that the EU’s ban on imports of Brazilian meat risks undoing key aspects of the EU-Mercosur trade deal, fuelling a “reversal of expectations” in Brazil and mounting frustration among the country’s producers.
The European Commission suspended imports of meat and other food products from Brazil last week over concerns about antimicrobial substances used in production, in a move that impacts millions of euros' worth of Brazilian exports.
