Dive Summary:
- EU ministers are holding an emergency meeting in Brussels tomorrow to discuss the fallout and implications of the multi country horse meat scandal currently being investigated.
- Many representatives believe this fiasco is indicative of faulty regulations and are calling for a food safety overhaul.
- Others, however, believe the whole thing has been blown out of proportion and think of this as a pretty isolated incident, one that doesn't merit much alarm.
From the article:
Taylor, GreenMEPfor the South East (UK), said: “The Horse meat scandal exposes major questions over EU rules on food safety and quality, transparency and foodlabelling, and as regards cross-border fraud and crime. Concerns about the regulatory system, productlabellingand how this alleged fraud could have been allowed to happen in the EU's internal market, must be addressed without delay."
