Brazilian health minister Alexandre Padilha, expected to be crowned Brasília’s candidate for the coveted São Paulo governorship, used his influence to temporarily block a free trade agreement between Mercosur and the European Union, said people familiar with the matter. The decision was postponed as the minister managed to have excluded from the tariff-free products a list of items linked to the health sector, including medical equipments. The proposal will be back at the table tomorrow.
