Carney said Ottawa would officially list the Pacific Link pipeline as a project...

Suspensas desde 3 de setembro, as exportaรงรตes de frango e de mel para a Uniรฃo Europeia (UE) podem ser retomadas no curto prazo. A indicaรงรฃo foi dada nesta quarta-feira (30) pelo comissรกrio europeu de Comรฉrcio e Seguranรงa Econรดmica, Maroลก ล efฤoviฤ, durante reuniรฃo com os ministros Mauro Vieira, das Relaรงรตes Exteriores, e Mรกrcio Elias Rosa, do Desenvolvimento, Indรบstria, Comรฉrcio e Serviรงos, em Milwaukee, nos Estados Unidos. O encontro ocorreu ร margem da reuniรฃo de ministros de Comรฉrcio do G20. O grupo รฉ formado pelas 19 maiores economias do planeta, mais Uniรฃo Europeia e Uniรฃo Africana.

Decisรฃo tรฉcnica A decisรฃo final sobre a retomada das exportaรงรตes serรก analisada pelo Comitรช Permanente de Plantas, Animais, Alimentos e Raรงรตes da Comissรฃo Europeia. A reuniรฃo tรฉcnica estรก prevista para os dias 20 e 21 de outubro. O Ministรฉrio da Agricultura pediu que o relatรณrio da auditoria seja incluรญdo na pauta do comitรช. Na avaliaรงรฃo divulgada nesta semana, a Comissรฃo Europeia considerou satisfatรณrio o sistema brasileiro de produรงรฃo nas cadeias de aves e mel e concluiu que o paรญs apresenta condiรงรตes para cumprir as exigรชncias europeias relacionadas ao uso de antimicrobianos. Durante a fiscalizaรงรฃo, os auditores verificaram, entre outros pontos, os controles brasileiros que impedem o uso de antimicrobianos para estimular o crescimento dos animais ou aumentar o rendimento da produรงรฃo. Carne bovina O governo brasileiro tambรฉm tenta obter um procedimento acelerado para a retomada das exportaรงรตes de carne bovina. Segundo a nota divulgada apรณs a reuniรฃo, os representantes brasileiros manifestaram a expectativa de que o mesmo tratamento dado ร s cadeias de aves e mel possa ser aplicado ร proteรญna bovina. A situaรงรฃo, porรฉm, envolve exigรชncias adicionais. No caso da carne bovina, a comprovaรงรฃo do controle sanitรกrio depende do acompanhamento de todo o ciclo de vida do animal, do nascimento ao abate. Esse processo de rastreabilidade pode levar atรฉ dois anos, o que torna a reversรฃo da restriรงรฃo mais complexa. A carne bovina tambรฉm representa uma parcela relevante das exportaรงรตes brasileiras de proteรญna animal destinadas ao mercado europeu. Suspensรฃo das vendas A Uniรฃo Europeia retirou o Brasil da lista de paรญses considerados em conformidade com as regras do bloco para o uso de determinados antimicrobianos na produรงรฃo pecuรกria. As substรขncias podem ser utilizadas no tratamento de infecรงรตes em animais, mas a legislaรงรฃo europeia proรญbe seu uso para estimular o crescimento. A suspensรฃo das importaรงรตes entrou em vigor em 3 de setembro e atingiu produtos como carne bovina, suรญna e de frango, alรฉm de mel, pescados, ovos e outros itens de origem animal. Desde entรฃo, o governo brasileiro mantรฉm negociaรงรตes com autoridades europeias para reverter as restriรงรตes. A auditoria realizada neste mรชs nas cadeias de aves e mel foi considerada um passo positivo, mas nรฃo determina, por si sรณ, a retomada das compras. Outros produtos Na reuniรฃo em Milwaukee, os ministros brasileiros e o comissรกrio europeu tambรฉm discutiram as restriรงรตes da Uniรฃo Europeia ร s importaรงรตes de aรงo. De acordo com o governo brasileiro, o bloco estรก revisando a distribuiรงรฃo das cotas para produtos siderรบrgicos. A mudanรงa poderรก abrir espaรงo para o Brasil, embora o processo ainda tenha etapas adicionais previstas para 2027.

Under the new US-China Board of Trade, more than 90 per cent of Chinese products on a list of goods worth US$30 billion โ mostly everyday consumer items, such as toys and household goods โ would return...
