Lead: Beijing, April 20 (Reuters) - China announced on Friday that it would ban imports of animal derived products from the Netherlands The day before China's decision, the Netherlands destroyed animal origin goods such as meat and aquatic products from China despite China's opposition The goods were detained in the port of Rotterdam due to a European Union ban The ban is the latest in a series of trade frictions between China and European countries On March 28, quarantine authorities in Jiangsu Province, a coastal province in southern China, found chloramphenicol residues in salted casings from the Netherlands, China said in an official statement In addition, official reports from France, Germany and Ireland also claimed that the drug residue was found in beef and feed imported from the Netherlands The statement, jointly issued by the Ministry of foreign trade and economic cooperation of China and the state Quarantine Bureau, also mentioned that all animal products imported from the Netherlands to China must undergo strict inspection and may be destroyed before the release of the statement Earlier last week, a special envoy of the European Union in Beijing proposed to China's trade authorities to lift China's import ban on several cosmetics from 18 European dominated countries that are believed to contain a substance that may spread mad cow disease (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
