Polish food strictly inspected in Czech Republic

Food products imported from Poland will be subject to extra inspection in the Czech Republic, Polish Radio reported. The recently introduced regulation concerns products such as apples, meat, milk, cheese and fish. The instruction issued by the Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority strictly names Polish food as requiring more quality inspection that other produce. Polish Agriculture Minister Marek Sawicki called the situation “a good advertising campaign for Polish food.” Nevertheless, he plans to inform the European Commission of the practice. He also encouraged Polish food producers to take legal action to protect their rights on the Czech market.
