Brazilian Beef 30th January 2007 A temporary ban on Brazilian beef imports into the European Union has been brought in from today as a vital safeguard against foot-and-mouth disease.

Euro-MPs have been demanding action for months in the face of growing concern about foot-and-mouth disease in Brazilian cattle.
