Brazilian beef imports ‘an important element of EU trade relationships’
Ensuring that beef products from Brazil can be brought to markets in Europe is an important part of the development of trade relations between the continent and the South American country, it has been claimed.
According to the European Commission’s minister for agriculture Mariann Fischer Boel, traders in Europe ought to be helping Brazilian beef exporters to meet the safety criteria that are currently keeping their goods out of the continent.
It would be beneficial for both parties if the beef trade could go unhindered by safety concerns and it could potentially have a positive impact for people with property for sale in Brazil.
"The [European] Commission has already taken steps in this direction – for example, by organising training courses for the Brazilian authorities – and we hope to solve the problem in the medium term," Ms Fischer Boel is quoted as saying by Meat Info.
Meanwhile, a Financial Times report recently revealed that the Brazilian government plans to increase the level of investment in agricultural activities in the country by almost 12 per cent.
