LISBON (Reuters) - Brazil's Defence Minister Jose Mucio said on Friday his country's planemaker Embraer SA would manufacture aircraft that meet NATO's requirements in a partnership with Portuguese aerospace company OGMA.

Embraer, which holds 65% of OGMA's capital, makes several types of planes, including a light attack aircraft called "Super Tucano".
