Polish food producers to intervene against Czechs in EC

The Polish Federation of Food Industry (PFPŻ) will ask the European Commission to carry out an audit in Czech food inspection authorities, Puls Biznesu reported. Other food producer federations are invited to join. The idea is a response to the earlier reported memo from the Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority, which ordered especially strict scrutiny of Polish food products. Czech Minister of Agriculture Marian Jurečka assured his Polish counterpart this week that there is no discrimination of Polish food in his country. However, the producers claim that they are subject to unnecessary inspection measures in the Czech Republic.
