DPJ raps U.S. anti-BSE measures as inadequate to ensure safety

TOKYO A group of legislators from the Democratic Party of Japan, the
country's main opposition party, rapped U.S. measures against mad cow
disease Tuesday as inadequate to ensure the safety of U.S. beef, whose
import resumption Washington is seeking.
"Japan should not restart imports unless the United States consents to
adopt blanket testing for all cows and remove certain dangerous body
parts" believed to carry high concentrations of prions, the group said
in a report. (Kyodo News)
