Overview
- Federal judge Mariel Borruto in Río Grande granted an amparo from the Asociación Rural de Tierra del Fuego and suspended the effects of Resolution 460/2025.
- The injunction runs for 30 days, applies only to Tierra del Fuego, and requires the plaintiffs to post a ARS 5 million bond.
- Resolution 460/2025 authorized entry of bone‑in meat and genetic material from foot‑and‑mouth disease–vaccinated zones into Patagonia.
- Chile’s agricultural agency has suspended recognition of Patagonia’s differential sanitary status, and the European Union has indicated possible follow‑up audits that could affect exports.
- Senasa defends the rule as safe and aligned with international standards, while producers warn of contract losses and inspections by Chilean authorities are expected during the pause.
