DENMARK: CRITICISM OF US BAN ON EU IMPORTS

Article Abstract:

The Danish food minister Ritt Bjerregaard and the Danish slaughter-house business are critical of the US ban on imports of meat from the EU due to the foot-and-mouth outbreak in France. They fear that Denmark's other export markets will follow suit, which would entail billion krone losses for the country's food exports. Heat-treated cheese was not included in the US import ban, which means that the Swedish-Danish dairy group Arla Foods will not be affected by the 14-day import ban. Denmark accounts for 70% of the EU's pork exports to the US. Denmark is the leading exporter in the world of pork. Danish Crown and Steff Houlberg, the leading slaughter-house companies in Denmark, say the US ban is unfair as France is the only country on the Continent that has had confirmed cases of foot-and-mouth disease.
