Il governo brasiliano ha espresso "profonda preoccupazione" per la decisione dell'Unione europea di sospendere da oggi le importazioni di carne, pollo, pesce, uova e miele dal Brasile, minacciando ritorsioni se non sarà raggiunta una soluzione "soddisfacente". Secondo i ministeri degli Esteri e dell'Agricoltura, lo stop è legato alla presunta incapacità brasiliana di dimostrare il rispetto delle norme europee sull'uso degli antimicrobici lungo l'intera filiera produttiva. Il Brasile sostiene tuttavia di avere già adottato le misure necessarie e di aver fornito alla Ue la documentazione richiesta.

La misura potrebbe avere un impatto significativo: nel 2025 le esportazioni brasiliane dei settori interessati hanno superato i 2 miliardi di dollari, di cui oltre un miliardo per la carne bovina e 781 milioni per il pollame, secondo quanto riferito da Efe. Brasilia è impegnata in un negoziato per riaprire il mercato e non esclude il ricorso alle clausole di salvaguardia previste dalla legge, all'accordo di libero scambio Mercosur-Ue e all'Organizzazione mondiale del commercio. Il governo denuncia inoltre che lo stop rischia di compromettere parte dei benefici ottenuti nell'accordo commerciale.
