Brussels, 11/06/2002 (Agence Europe) - The Standing Committee of the Food Chain met on Tuesday to hear Germany's explanations on the Nitrofen contamination of cereals, and has decided not to take any additional safety measures. It considered that the detailed report by the German representative did not at this stage justify any new initiatives (see EUROPE yesterday page 11 and 7 June page 12). The identification of the source of the prohibited pesticide contamination, the assurances given by Germany and the measures that it has so far taken until now are judged to be satisfactory. The progress of the German investigations for tracking down the last few contaminated products that have still not been withdrawn from the market will be examined on Thursday. In the meantime, Belgian precautionary measures are still applicable.
