GOVT MAY CANCEL LICENSES OF BRAZIL'S ABATTOIRS IF VIOLATIONS FOUND
GOVT MAY CANCEL LICENSES OF BRAZIL'S ABATTOIRS IF VIOLATIONS FOUND
Jakarta, Sept 6 (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Agriculture said it might cancel the licenses of five Brazil's slaughter houses which had obtained permits to export meat to Indonesia if they committed violations.
Animal Husbandry Director General Tjeppy D Soedjana said here on Sunday that the appointment of five Brazil's slaughter houses (RPH) was not permanent and could be re-audited.
"If a violation is found in the audit, their licenses could be lifted," he said.
Sometime ago, the agriculture ministry appointed five abattoirs in five Brazilian states to supply boneless meat to Indonesia.
The permit for the five Brazilian states to supply meat to Indonesia was contained in the agriculture minister's decree No. 3026 / Kpts / PD 620 /8/ 2009 on the agreement to supply boneless meat from Brazil to Indonesia. The decree was issued on August 11, 2009.
The five Brazilian RPH which had obtained licenses to supply meat to Indonesia are the Maraba (SIF 457) in Para, the Mozarlandia (SIF 4507) in Gaoias, the Campo Grande (SIF) in Mato Grosso de Sul, the Andradina (SIF 1662) in Sao Paulo and the Vihena (SIF 4333) in Rondonia.
Based on the WHO, Brazil is included in the group of countries which are free from contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), rift valley fever (RVF), controlled bovine spongiform encephalopaty (BSE) risk and have a zone free from hoof-and-mouth disease.
In the meantime, Agriculture Minister Anton Apriyantono said that the opening of beef import from Brazil was done after considering the food security factor of its animal husbandry.
He made the remarks in response to the fear of certain quarters who worried that meat import from Brazil would contain a disease.
"If Brazil is not free from hoof-and-mouth disease it is impossible for it to export meat to 180 countries, including Australia and New Zealand," the minister said.
