Brussels, 11/10/2002 (Agence Europe) - Brazil is contemplating disputing in Geneva certain customs provisions that substantially increase the price of its deliveries of salted poultry meat onto the European market. According to the local press, the authorities hope, through the World Trade Organisation and its dispute settlement procedure, to push the Union to stop reclassifying these deliveries in the customs nomenclature, a change that increased the levies from 15 to 102.4%. Brazil is also calling on the Europeans to reduce the field of their inspections on poultry deliveries from 100 to 10% of the total. The EU's sanitary standards ban the use of certain antibiotics, notably nitrophane (a preserver) which has been detected in certain Brazilian deliveries. Al third countries are held by this and others, like China, Vietnam and Thailand are in the same boat as Brazil, the European side points out, stressing: "we engaged in dialogue with the Brazilians. They gave us guarantees, but traces of antibiotics are still there."
