Special measures for imports from Shizuoka

08 July 2011

The European Commission has published legislation that adds Shizuoka to the list of Japanese prefectures for which special measures on the imports of feed and food apply. Implementing Regulation 657/2011 removes the prefectures of Niigata and Yamagata from the list, on the basis of tests that have shown that feed and food from these areas is affected by radioactivity to only a negligible extent. The Regulation enters into force on 11 July 2011.

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 657/2011 of 7 July 2011 amending Regulation (EU) No 297/2011 imposing special conditions governing the import of feed and food originating in or consigned from Japan following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2011:180:0039:0042:EN:PDF
