European Commission Commission européenne

00:00 - 00:32
Intervenant 5
Bonjour, Florentin Collomp, Le Figaro.  Maybe I ask my question in English.  It's on trade, agriculture, health.  Can you confirm that a ban on imports of Brazilian meat will enter into force on the 3rd of September?  If so, can you tell us the justification for that? 

Any other countries are impacted by the same ban?  And why, if not, why Brazil?  And what is the process starting from here? 
00:32 - 00:45
Intervenant 2
Thank you.  Yes, it's true, but it's not a surprise.  This was indeed prepared in advance and should come as no surprise.  But Eva, tell us more about this. 
00:45 - 01:28
Intervenant 4
Yes, good afternoon everybody.  Indeed, we have talked about it also here in this press room.  Maybe for those who were not present, we need to explain that this is due to our rules on antimicrobials.  Because in the European Union, we have a good, or I would even say the best quality of food in the world, which means that the food coming to Europe is a subject of very strict check.  And according to our One Health approach, we have rules that ban antimicrobials or using antimicrobials for growth.
