Blaming each other for the egg crisis must end. So says EU Commissioner Vytenis Andriukaitis. He will convene the relevant Ministers of Food Safety and the regulators for a summit.
In any case, there must be talks at the highest level before the end of September about who is to blame for the egg crisis. Belgium blames the Netherlands for not reporting the fipronil-contaminated eggs, but the Netherlands has expressed its displeasure and says it is not to blame.
Andriukaitis emphasizes that talking is more beneficial than fighting each other. Working together and learning from this situation is the key to finding a solution, according to the EU Commissioner.
Issue is getting bigger and bigger
Meanwhile, the fipronil issue is getting bigger and bigger. Hennie de Haan, chairman of the Dutch Union of Poultry Farmers (NVP), late in a interview with Boerenbusiness know that in addition to the Germans and the Belgians, England, France and Italy are also concerned about food safety.
