[QUOTE="frenchie, post: 204656, member: 451"] U.S. Ready for Additional Training for Meat Inspectors Jiji Press English News Service, March 30, 2006 Washington, March 29 (Jiji Press)--The United States is prepared to carry out additional training for inspectors to help Japan dispel its concern about the U.S. inspection system for mad cow disease, Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns said Wednesday. "If they feel that we have to do additional training, we will agree to do that," Johanns told reporters. "Japan is an important trading partner." Johanns made the comments after the two countries on Wednesday ended two-day talks in Tokyo on Japan's import ban on American beef. Japan reinstated its all-out import ban on U.S. beef in January, a month after its two-year-old ban was eased, because prohibited mad cow disease risk materials were found in a shipment of veal from a New York meat processor. At the bilateral meeting, Japanese asked for some additional training and paid "very close attention" to manuals to make sure U.S. meat processing plants meet the Japanese requirements for U.S. beef import, Johanns said, adding that "if that's the concession on our part, so be it." He said he hopes to hold the next meeting soon, without predicting a specific timetable.END (C) 2006 Jiji Press English News Service. via ProQuest Information and Learning Company; All Rights Reserved [/QUOTE]
