Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
The European Union has formally rejected Brazil's request for a gradual transition in antimicrobial use in livestock, upholding a ban on Brazilian beef, chicken, eggs, honey, fish, and live animal exports starting September 3. Brazil had proposed full compliance by 2029, but the EU refused. Vice President Geraldo Alckmin acknowledged the government is working on the issue. The ban stems from EU concerns over antimicrobial resistance in Brazilian livestock production.
