EU assessing Brazilian beef access
7/05/2009
The EU is considering adapting its traceability requirements for Brazilian beef, as the EU Animal Health Directorate admitted that the Brazilian beef industry’s request for increased flexibility in farm certification will be considered.
The Directorate will assess increasing flexibility with different members of the EU Commission after analysing the report on the last EU’s veterinary mission in Brazil, taking into account possible guarantees granted by the Brazilian beef industry.
Despite minor problems being found during the mission, the Directorate affirms they were not key failures.
