Introduction: the 90 day ban on poultry imports from the United States is wrong and unnecessary, said Ann Veneman, the head of the U.S Department of agriculture on January 18 The ban must be lifted immediately Japan is a big importer of poultry and poultry products, importing $17 million worth of poultry meat and eggs from the United States every year, AFP reported At the beginning of this year, the United States informed Japan of the outbreak of avian influenza in parts of Pennsylvania On January 12, Japan decided to stop importing poultry and its products from the United States for 90 days "I urge the Japanese side to immediately lift such unnecessary restrictions," Veneman said in a letter to Japanese Minister of agriculture and water affairs Takeuchi She said the outbreak was only in a small area and was well controlled, so there was no need to ban the entire United States In November last year, similar incidents occurred between Japan and the United States At that time, after many consultations and discussions between the United States and Japan, Japan lifted the ban And nearly two months later, similar events happen again.
