BRASILIA (Reuters) – A Brazilian federal court on Thursday granted an injunction blocking the proposed tie-up between planemakers Boeing Co (BA.N) and Embraer SA (EMBR3.SA), according to a court document seen by Reuters.<\/span><\/p>\n

The decision, which can be appealed, forbids Embraer’s board of directors from signing the deal with Boeing. Boeing and Embraer did not immediately reply to requests for comment.<\/span><\/p>\n

The legal action was brought by four congressmen with Brazil’s leftwing Workers Party, which is opposed to the deal.<\/span><\/p>\n

The companies announced in July that Brazilian planemaker Embraer would sell 80 percent of its commercial aviation business to Boeing.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the deal has stalled, partly because the Brazilian government, which has the power to veto important decisions at the planemaker, has been reluctant to give it a greenlight.<\/span><\/p>\n

President Michel Temer said he would leave the decision to the future administration, which takes office Jan. 1. President-elect Jair Bolsonaro has said he is in favor of the deal.<\/span><\/p>\n
