On January 5, 2010, the ROC Legislative Yuan passed a controversial amendment to Food Sanitation Act (FSA) that would ban imports of specific beef products from countries with documented cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or mad cow disease, over the past decade. Actually, a controversial amendment to the Act Governing Food Sanitation was supposed to be voted on December 29, 2009. Taking over the speaker's seat and stalling the meeting of the Legislative Yuan after several rounds of confrontations, legislators of the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) reached a consensus with the ruling Kuomintang (KMT) lawmakers on a plan to revise rules to ban imports of ground beef and bovine offal from the U.S. |
