EU parliament: Review easing food import rule www3.nhk.or.jp
A plan to partially ease restrictions on EU food imports imposed after the Fukushima nuclear accident could be postponed. The restrictions were due to be relaxed this autumn but the European Parliament has adopted a resolution to review them.
The EU currently requires food imports from many Japanese prefectures, including Fukushima, to carry a certificate showing it has passed safety tests at facilities designated by the Japanese government. The measure has been in effect since the 2011 accident.
But many European parliamentarians are not convinced by the arguments in favor of easing the ban.
The EU Parliament adopted the resolution on Wednesday by a vote of 543 to 100. 43 members abstained.
The resolution is not legally binding. But a review would mean that the easing of regulations would probably be delayed.
