Brazil CADE reporting counselor on soy moratorium votes to suspend pact

SAO PAULO, Sept 30 (Reuters) – The reporting counselor on the so-called "soy moratorium" case for Brazil's CADE antitrust agency, Carlos Jacques Gomes, on Tuesday voted to suspend the pact that grain traders have held for almost two decades. The soy moratorium program is a voluntary initiative under which exporters – including some of the world's top grain traders – agree not buy soy from farmers who cleared land in the Amazon rainforest after July 2008.
