To protect the industrial producing area of abalone in China, it is forbidden to import Chinese fresh abalone and improve the sampling rate.

In March this year, the production season of Gongliao abalone was extended due to weather conditions, and it could not be sold because of the low price of Chinese abalone, causing local farmers to protest. Su Tseng-chang, president of the Executive Yuan, also inspected and ordered the relevant units to respond. Recently, the Bureau of International Trade of the Ministry of Economic Affairs announced that from November 1 to March 31 of the next year, the import of Chinese live, fresh and frozen abalone was banned to safeguard the rights and interests of domestic abalone manufacturers. The Food and Drug Administration also announced at the beginning of April that it would improve China's live, fresh, frozen and frozen abalone to 20% to 50% in the coming year.

Lin Limei, director general of the Gongliao District Fisheries Association, said on the 1st that fishermen all affirmed the government's measures when they heard the news, but there was still a lack of a role in safeguarding the domestic abalone industry, and the fishing association would take into account the implementation of this year's policy and suggest whether it is possible to further control the total quantity of frozen abalone.

Lin Limei explained that in the past, because there was no control over the import of fresh abalone during the production season, some Chinese fresh abalone would be sold under the name of Gongliao abalone, affecting the rights and interests of domestic industries. therefore, the ban on import is of great help at this stage. "fishermen feel that the government is paying attention to this industry." As for whether the ban on fresh abalone will increase the import of frozen abalone? Lin Limei said that we still need to look at the implementation of the policy this year before observing. "of course, if there is a total import control of frozen abalone, the protection of the industry will be better. "

In addition, with regard to the norms of border inspection, Zheng Weizhi, deputy director of the North District Management Center of the Food and Drug Administration, explained that shortly after being instructed by Premier Su Tseng-chang, the Food and Drug Administration announced that from April 3 to April 2, 109, the sampling rate of live, fresh, refrigerated and frozen abalone in China would be increased from 2% to 10% to 20% to 50%, while 48 items of animal drugs could not be detected. Heavy metal pollution and other projects. Since the implementation of the policy announcement, 28 batches of imported fresh, frozen and frozen abalone are in line with the inspection regulations, and there are no illegal items. A few days ago, Taoyuan also passed the inspection of the Chinese live abalone that violated the pledge, but for those who violated the Food Safety Law, the sanction to apply for suspension or fine in advance is still under discussion.
