Introduction: on Thursday, the UK announced an action plan to strengthen the prevention of illegal meat imports However, the implementation of this plan will have to wait for the conclusion of a preliminary research project this summer Critics have accused the government of failing to guard against foot-and-mouth disease last year, which killed millions of livestock and hit the rural economy on a large scale After discussion with industry and consumer groups, the government has formulated a series of measures, including: risk assessment of diseases caused by illegal imports; increased cooperation among government departments to strengthen control; strengthening the strength and depth of investigation, etc At the same time, the government also announced that it would strengthen its contacts with European authorities and reform the entry system of personnel, so as to seize illegal goods often carried in the hand baggage of air passengers In a statement, Lord Whitty, the Secretary of state for food and agriculture, said: "the government believes that this action needs to be better understood to eliminate the risks caused by the smuggling of meat products."
