European Union might halt imports of Brazilian beef and soybeans
Sep, 13, 2019 Posted by Sylvia SchandertWeek 201938
Finnish Finance Minister Mika Lintila said, on Friday (09/13), that the European Union should block beef imports from Brazil and also consider a suspension of soy imports to pressure the Brazilian government to fight fires in the Amazon.
Finland, which holds the temporary EU presidency, has called on the EU authorities to “stop importing beef from Brazil,” Lintila told a news conference in Helsinki.
He added that he was thinking of doing the same with soybean in order to “increase the pressure for the Brazilian government to do something about the forest fires.”
