日本産食品の輸入、追加緩和へ　福島事故後の５県産―台湾

　【台北時事】台湾当局は２４日までに、２０１１年の東京電力福島第１原発事故を受けて導入した福島など５県産食品に対する輸入規制をさらに緩和する方針を発表した。２２年に禁輸措置を撤廃した際に除外した一部品目についても解禁し、原則として全ての食品を輸入できるようになる。６０日間のパブリックコメントを経て決定する。（2024/07/24-12:56）

Taiwan will lift its remaining import restrictions on foods from five Japanese prefectures hit by the 2011 meltdowns, a move that will make all Japanese food products available to consumers in the Asian economy, it was learned Wednesday.
   Adopting stricter safety standards than those of other economies, Taiwan has kept banning imports of mushrooms, game meat and "koshiabura," one of mountain vegetables, from Fukushima, which hosts the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc., and nearby Chiba, Gunma, Ibaraki and Tochigi since reopening its market to Japanese food products in 2022.
   But officials of the health ministry said the ministry has reviewed the surviving restrictions based on scientific evidence and international standards.
   They will be removed in principle after a 60-day public comment period, although radiation inspection certificates and certificates of origin will remain mandatory.
