EU restricts meat from Brazil, AKU clarifies shipments entering Albania

Brazil has been removed from the list of countries authorized by the European Union for the export of certain categories of animals and products of animal origin for human consumption, including poultry and beef.

In this situation, the National Food Authority has clarified the rules that will also apply to shipments of Brazilian origin arriving in Albania after September 3, 2026.

According to the NFA, consignments of poultry and beef for which the official veterinary health certificate was signed and/or issued before September 3, 2026 will continue to be accepted, even if they arrive in Albanian territory after this date.

The clarification is based on the interpretation given by European Commission representatives at the May 28 meeting in Brussels with UECBV, where it was determined that the new requirements will not apply retroactively to exports carried out before the change entered into force.

The AKU emphasizes that the decision is related to changes in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1189, which amends Regulation 2021/405, while in Albania the import of meat from Brazil is also conditioned by national rules and the approval of production areas and establishments by the EU.

The National Food Authority declares that it will continue controls and monitoring of cargo at border points, with the aim of guaranteeing food safety and protecting public health.

NFA announcement:

The National Food Authority declares that it will continue monitoring and implementing legal requirements, with the aim of guaranteeing food safety and protecting public health.

The National Food Authority, following the amendments to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1189, which amended Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405, announces that Brazil has been removed from the list of third countries or regions thereof authorized for the entry into the European Union of consignments of certain categories of animals and products of animal origin intended for human consumption.

Also, referring to Ministerial Order No. 294, dated 13.06.2006, “On the import of meat from the Federative Republic of Brazil”, the import of these products is conditional on the approval by the European Union of the production areas and establishments.

In the context of the implementation of the changes, we would like to inform you that on May 28, 2026, in Brussels, a meeting was held between representatives of the UECBV (European Livestock and Meat Trade Union) and DG SANTE, during which representatives of the European Commission clarified that shipments for which the relevant certificate was issued before September 3, 2026 will continue to be accepted at the Border Control Posts (BCP) of the European Union, as the new requirements do not apply to exports from third countries carried out before this date.

The National Food Authority clarifies that consignments of poultry and bovine meat originating from Brazil, for which the official veterinary health certificate was signed and/or issued before September 3, 2026, will continue to be accepted at Border Control Points, even if these consignments arrive in the territory of the Republic of Albania after September 3, 2026.

The National Food Authority will continue monitoring and implementing the requirements of the legislation in force, with the aim of guaranteeing food safety and protecting public health.
