Brazil says the EU has moved to block its animal product exports starting from September

- Brazil is the first country to be removed from the list of states complying with the EU's antimicrobial use restrictions in animals, with the vote to ban its exports being unanimous.
- The EU's ban applies regardless of existing trade agreements and enforces mandatory sanitary and phytosanitary standards for farmers and exporters from third countries.
- Brazil's agriculture ministry expressed surprise at the EU's decision and plans to seek reversal of the ban; the EU-Mercosur free trade agreement, including Brazil, entered into force on May 1, 2025.
