打印本页 Pig ruling could erode laws: McGauran
AUSTRALIA - The Federal Government has admitted Australia's quarantine system could have been wrecked by a controversial court case involving pork imports.Agriculture Minister Peter McGauran says pork producers should give up their legal battle against potentially disease-affected pig meat imports after the Federal Court upheld the integrity of quarantine procedures.
The court's full bench has saved the government from a potentially embarrassing overhaul of its quarantine system that could also have threatened trade relationships.
The court upheld an appeal on Friday by the quarantine service against an initial court decision which blocked imports of pig meat from countries with an incurable pig disease not found in Australia.
Mr McGauran admitted that losing the appeal would have caused massive problems for the government.
