Brazil warns of reciprocal measures against EU if talks to lift meat ban stall

SAO PAULO, Sept 3 (Reuters) - The Brazilian government said on Thursday it could take reciprocal measures against the European Union in case negotiations to reverse the bloc's ban on animal products from the South American nation do not lead to "a satisfactory outcome."

In a statement signed by the ministries of agriculture and foreign affairs, Brazil expressed concerns over the ban, which took effect on Thursday as the European bloc seeks guarantees that prohibited antimicrobial substances are not used in production.
