Specialist for EU agricultural negotiations arrives to examine things firsthand

David Byrne, European Union Commissioner for Health and Consumer Protection, will visit Poland today, conducting meetings with the Minister of Healthy, Artur Balazs, the Polish Veterinarian Inspection, the chairman of the Sejm Commission for European Law, former Minister of Foreign Affairs Bronislaw Gieremek, and other officials. The Commissioner will also visit dairies and meat plants which do not yet meet EU standards and thus are forbidden to export to EU countries. Byrne is responsible for EU agricultural negotiations with Poland and thus he wants to examine the situation firsthand. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 22)
