Brazil to comply with EU beef import regs - AgMin

BRASILIA, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Brazil will comply fully with an initial Jan. 31 deadline for tougher regulations on beef shipments to the European Union, the country's agriculture minister said on Monday.

"The position I adopted as minister is to meet the European demands, correcting everything that had been done wrong in recent years," Reinhold Stephanes told Reuters in an interview in the capital Brasilia.

The EU announced last month that beef from Brazil may be shipped to the EU from Jan. 31 only from an approved and restricted list of producers which meet strict EU import requirements.

Brazil is the world's largest exporter of beef.
