US embassy cable - 05BRATISLAVA306

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT:  TRADE ACTION AGAINST U.S. CORN GLUTEN FEED 
 
REF: STATE 68058 
 
On April 15, Lenka Truchla of the Ministry of Agriculture's 
Department of Foodstuffs and Nutrition reported to econoff 
that the GOS would probably abstain from the EU Standing 
Regulatory Committee for Food and Animal Health's vote to 
impose a certification requirement on imports of U.S. corn 
gluten.  The GOS would like additional information on this 
subject and feels that the EU has rushed into action without 
sufficient explanation of its rationale.
