EU to amend regulation on Japanese imports

05 July 2011

The European Commission will add Shizuoka to the list of 13 prefectures of Japan for which special measures on the imports of feed and food apply. The prefectures of Niigata and Yamagata will be removed from the list, as the safety of food from these areas has been confirmed. The draft Regulation with this amendment is expected to be adopted by the end of the week.
