打印本页 Aussie Pork farmers under attack on two fronts
AUSTRALIA - Australian pork producers are under attack from the risk of disease-carrying imports and from subsidised imports, writes Pat Byrne in News Weely.Australian pork producers have challenged pork imports on both quarantine and probable dumping grounds. In both cases, government agencies have been accused of adopting import-risk methodologies that allow imports to continue.
A Federal Court judge recently described as "bizarre" the methodology used by Biosecurity Australia in recommending pork imports to continue from countries where Post-Weaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome has devastated young pig populations.
The judge's ruling, however, is being appealed against by the Federal Government before a full sitting of the Federal Court.
