Taiwan-No change to BSE Rules.

TAIWAN

NO TO US BEEF CHANGES.

The government of Taiwan, has no plans to ease the restrictions on US beef imports, despite the meetings last week, where the USDA put a very strong case.

Taiwan’s Department of Health, said on Friday, the existing restrictions will stay in place.

Minister of the Department of Health, Yeh Ching-chuan, said "there are no plans to review the situation again, anytime soon in the near future".

The current restrictions allow only boneless beef, from cattle aged under 30 months, to be exported from the United States to Taiwan.
