That this House notes with concern the risk of importing cattle from Brazil which may be infected with foot and mouth; highlights the insufficient tracking of livestock movements coupled with breaches of cattle identification regulations which fall short of EU standards; supports the National Farmers' Union in its demands that all Brazilian beef should be banned from being imported into the EU until the necessary standards are met; and calls on the Government to work with the EU in order to implement such a ban.

This motion has been signed by a total of 24 MPs.
