[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 165407, member: 97"] 12 Steps The U.S. Is Instituting For The Japan Market In a Friday press conference, USDA Secretary Mike Johanns outlined the 11 steps USDA is implementing in response to today's Japanese beef-trade situation. Submit a report to the Japanese government on the U.S. investigation, its actions, and the consequences for failure to comply with our requirements. The plant in question (Atlantic Veal & Lamb, Brooklyn, NY) has been de-listed for export of beef products into Japan. The government inspector who cleared the shipment may be disciplined, as well. A second USDA Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) signature will be required on Beef Export Verification (BEV) certificates. Unannounced USDA inspections will be a part of the BEV program. FSIS held a conference call with district managers today to reaffirm requirements on all countries with which the U.S. has a BEV program. Participation by all USDA District Offices and Offices of International Affairs in a Jan. 23 conference call to reaffirm requirements of all countries relative to the BEV program. Require inspectors in these BEV plants to review procedures and ensure compliance. No additional plants will be listed under the BEV programs until the proper procedures are in place. A team will be dispatched to Japan to work with the Japanese government to review all shipments currently there and ensure compliance. FSIS will conduct an investigation of the plant in question. Further training of FSIS inspectors on BEV requirements and a required signed validation that they have successfully completed the training. Conduct a meeting of all plants that participate in the BEV program to ensure that they have met the requirements. [/QUOTE]
