Brasília - On Friday (13), the government of the United States decided to wrap up the investigation of Brazil it had been conducting as part of the periodic review of the General System of Preferences. After an investigation that lasted five years, the US government concluded in its report that Brazil has taken satisfactory measures to combat piracy.

According to a note issued by the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Relations, the decision "represents a significant victory for Brazil and Brazilian exporters," since it eliminates the risk of Brazil's being struck from the list of countries whose products can enter the US paying lower import duties..
