The Czech Republic slash controls for Polish beef imports
Czech authorities announced they will drop the emergency control measures for Polish beef imports after Poland offered guarantees for its efforts to prevent another scandal regarding the quality of the beef exported.
In January, the press discovered that in some Polish abattoirs sick cattle were slaughtered and their meat was delivered in the market for human consumption. 2,700 tonnes of beef suspected to come from these batches was recalled and destroyed in 11 EU Member States. Later, Czech Veterinary watchdog discovered another Polish beef batch of 700 kilos infected with salmonella. The authorities have maintained emergency controls for Polish beef since but are willing to ease them now. "Poland has offered guarantees to the CE and to us that it has done the best to stop meat unfitted for human consumption from entering the market", mentioned the Ministry of Agriculture in a press release.
