Hej
EU kommer att hårdbevaka sex grönsaker som importeras ifrån Thailand p.g.a att höga halter av kemikalier har påträffats,
dessa grönsaker är äggplanta, kål, string bönor, koriander, lime blad och söt basilika.
EU planerar liknande åtgärder för ytterligare sex andra grönsaker i framtiden, vilka grönsaker det gäller har man inte gått ut med än.
Thailands minister som har hand om frågan är Mrs Pornthiva Nakasai som säger att detta kan komma att påverka Thailands export men även Thailändska resturanger i Europa som behöver dessa råvaror i sin verksamhet.
LONDON, Oct 17 -- The European Union (EU) has issued strict control measures on six Thai vegetables imported by its member countries after some Thai exporters had exported sub-standard produce in which unacceptable chemical residue was found, Thai Commerce Minister Pornthiva Nakasai said.
Mrs Pornthiva, now visiting England in an attempt to expand bilateral trade between England and Thailand, said the EU has imposed strict checks on eggplant, cabbage, string beans and coriander, lemon balm leaf and sweet basil -- before they are exported to EU members.
She said the EU also plans to impose a similar measure on six other Thai vegetables in future, which if implemented would affect both Thailand's vegetable exports and impact the operations of Thai restaurants operating in many European countries.
The consequences are wider than vegetables alone, as the economic community may also become reluctant Thai produce including fruit. The names of the other six vegetables were not disclosed.
