Bilateral relations > Brazil

Relations with Brazil have intensified over the last years with cooperation on cases and exchanges of staff. On 8 October 2009, Commissioner Kroes signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Brazilian Ministry of Justice and the heads of the Brazilian Competition Authorities in order to ensure a closer cooperation between DG Competition and its Brazilian counterparts.

This MoU (en pdf, pt pdf ) reflects the importance of Brazil as a trading partner for the EU and the maturity of its competition enforcement authorities.
