EU Food import regulations after the nuclear accident Relaxed from November October 30 14:36
After the accident at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi NPS, the EU-European Union's import restrictions on food in Japan have been relaxed since November 14, and seafood in Iwate and Miyagi prefectures are now subject to regulation. I will come off.
The EU continues to require that foodstuffs taken in the surrounding area after the Fukushima Daiichi accident be inspected for radioactive materials before export.
Regarding this regulation, the European Commission, the EU executive body, has decided to relax the regulation for some items from 14 November.
In particular,
▽ In Iwate, Tochigi and Chiba prefectures, marine products, mushrooms and wild plants that fall under all items are excluded from the scope of regulation.
▽ Ibaraki Prefecture is a bamboo shoot of marine products, mushrooms and wild plants.
▽ Miyagi Prefecture has some wild vegetables such as seafood and springs.
▽ Gunma is a bamboo shoot of seafood and wild plants.
▽ Fukushima Prefecture has some wild vegetables such as soybeans and bracken.
▽ Some wild vegetables such as mushrooms and springs in Nagano Prefecture.
▽ Niigata Prefecture mushrooms are excluded.
These items are easier to export because they no longer need to be tested for radioactive material.
On the other hand, some items continue to be regulated.
▽ Fukushima Prefecture has some wild vegetables such as some marine products, mushrooms, salmon, and bamboo shoots.
▽ Some wild vegetables such as Miyagi, Gunma, Yamagata, Yamanashi, Shizuoka Prefecture mushrooms and kosiabra.
▽ Nagano, Ibaraki, and Niigata Prefectures continue to be regulated by the wild vegetable Kosia Bra.
