I want to issue an important warning for our agribusiness.
In less than a year, the European Union introduced and passed in the European Parliament, by an overwhelming majority, a bill that bans the import of agricultural products linked to deforestation or the violation of human rights.
This is Bolsonaro's main legacy for Brazilian agribusiness.
Giving reasons... for protectionist measures to harm our exports and our thriving agricultural production.
The current president did his part by dismantling and undermining Ibama and ICMBio in their functions and promoting illegality in the region in his speeches.
Who invades and deforests?
They are land grabbers who hope to be able to sell them with future amnesties.
The impact of this European legislation, if tariffed by the 27 countries, is enormous.
The European Union is the second-largest market for Brazilian agribusiness.
It is second only to China.
Our exports to the European Union total 18 billion dollars.
It is estimated that 75% of that total could be affected by the restrictions imposed on products originating from deforested areas.
It is necessary that Lula intervene and use his international prestige to protect our agribusiness market.
We defend private property.
We will expand Moderfrota and other rural financing lines with lower interest rates.
We will strengthen Embrapa, keeping Brazil in the lead in innovation and technology for grain production.
As Senator Cátia Abreu also warned, we need to defend agribusiness.
And the way forward is Lula as president.
