Japan - Easing US beef restrictions
28 Jul 2012
The Food Safety Commission will meet next Tuesday to discuss whether to approve the government's proposal of easing restrictions on U.S. beef imports, said Makato Osone, a commission official.
A 13-member committee led by Nihon University professor Takeo Sakai will hold its seventh meeting since the government asked it to assess the health risks of relaxing restrictions imposed to safeguard against mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), Osone said.
