Wednesday, 11 November 2009 07:13 Taipei Times

The first batch of US beef exports under a relaxed ban is likely to arrive in Taiwan within a week after the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued Quality System Assessment (QSA) certificates to qualified suppliers, a Ministry of Economic Affairs official said yesterday.

While the new QSA regulations stipulate that both boneless and bone-in beef from cattle less than 30 months of age slaughtered on or after Nov. 2 can be exported to Taiwan, only boneless beef from cattle slaughtered before that date can be exported to Taiwan.

Wednesday, 11 November 2009 07:11 Taipei Times

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) on financial supervisory cooperation between Taiwan and China could be signed next week at the earliest, Premier Wu Den-yih (吳敦義) said in an interview with the Central News Agency (CNA) yesterday.

Signing the MOU is a “necessity” for Taiwan and China because it would be beneficial to cross-strait cooperation in the financial sector, Wu said, adding that there was “no doubt about that.”

A proposed anti-infiltration bill would crack down on acts of infiltration, rather than target certain people, while agencies would not “punish” offenders, but lodge lawsuits against them, Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) Minister Chen Ming-tong (陳明通) said yesterday.
