Die Jahre danach waren die mit der niedrigsten Kriminalität ever, die allermeisten gingen zur Schule, in die Arbeit, manche wurden Deutsche. Lasst euch nicht einreden, es sei ein Fehler gewesen.

Years of fear-mongering about what the #Mercosur deal would mean for our food supply, and then reality hits: when Brazilian meat doesn't meet our standards, we don't import it. #EUpol

Lula’s burgers are off the menu

Brazil reacted with “surprise” after Brussels singled it out on Tuesday
over alleged failures to meet EU food safety standards.

The move, linked to the use of antimicrobials In livestock, could halt
Imports of Brazilian meat from September, Sofia Sanchez Manzanaro
reported.

The measure risks undermining Brazil's ability to benefit from the newly
implemented EU-Mercosur trade deal, which lowers tariffs on beef
exports to the bloc.
