The following is a joint statement on this action from U.S. Grains Council (USGC) President and CEO Tom Sleight, Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) President and CEO Bob Dinneen and Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are encouraged to see Brazil\u2019s continued postponement on a decision regarding a pending proposal to impose tariffs on U.S. ethanol imports. Our organizations have been tracking this issue for months and have worked heavily in Washington, D.C., and Brasilia to provide all necessary information to the Brazilian government on this issue. Imposing tariffs on U.S. ethanol imports will hurt Brazilian consumers by driving up their costs at the pump. Additionally, this action on U.S. ethanol imports will go against Brazil\u2019s own longstanding view that ethanol tariffs are inappropriate and will harm the development of the global ethanol industry. We will continue this work and appreciate the thoughtful consideration Brazilian officials are taking on a proposal that could have wide-ranging and long-standing impacts on both our industries and the global fuel supply.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Contact: <br \/>Melissa Kessler, mkessler@grains.org, (202) 492-3433<br \/>Rachel Gantz, rgantz@ethanolrfa.org, (202) 289-3835<br \/>Chris Hogan, chogan@growthenergy.org, (202) 545-4000<\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>About the U.S. Grains Council<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span>The U.S. Grains Council develops export markets for U.S. barley, corn, grain sorghum and related products.
