Brazil can no longer export poultry to the EU due to bird flu. The EU requires countries to be free of avian influenza, impacting Brazil's trade.
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Brazil is no longer allowed to export poultry and meat products to the European Union due to the outbreak of bird flu, the European Commission said on Monday.
"EU import conditions require that the country of export (Brazil) is free of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza," a European Commission spokesperson said in an email.
"Brazilian authorities can no longer sign such animal health certificates for export into the EU and such certificates cannot be issued. No poultry/meat products can be exported to the EU from any part of the Brazilian territory."
