Although Taiwan has decided to reopen its doors to imports of U.S. pork containing ractopamine. the Taipei City Council passed amendments to declare its "zero tolerance" attitude and a fine of NT$60,000 to NT$100,000 will be imposed.
Democratic Progressive Party councilors focused on the issue of imports of U.S. pork containing ractopamine during the first day of a Taipei City Council administrative interpellation. They took turns attacking Taipei City Mayor Ko Wen-je, and he felt compelled to respond.
No one has said anything about how imports of pork and beef into Taiwan are going to be managed. The new policy will take effect on Jan. 1. What kind of country is it where local governments have no idea about how to manage it with just two months to go before the policy takes effect? How is it possible to have such a terrible agriculture minister?
Ko criticized Agriculture Minister Chen Chi-chung, and then focused his wrath on the DPP administration's unilateral decision to open up Taiwan to imports of U.S. pork and beef. He said it was not only a food safety issue.
In 2012, the Democratic Progressive Party paralyzed the Legislative Yuan for several days when it blocked imports of U.S. beef. You all should take a look at the past. Whoever is in power will support it, and whoever is in opposition will be against it. It's ridiculous.
On Nov. 4, the Kuomintang used its majority in the council to pass amendments to autonomous ordinances on food safety to allow for fines of NT$60,000 to NT$100,000 for pork found to contain ractopamine. DPP Councilor Liang Wen-chieh accused Ko of following the KMT, while DPP Councilor Hsu Shu-hua accused the Taipei City Government of creating anxiety for traditional market vendors by asking traditional markets to manage sources. DPP Councilor Chien Shu-pei brandished meat inspection statistics in accusing the city government of cutting down on inspections. They also told Ko to communicate more with the central government. Meanwhile, Chen was asked about the amendments that allow for fines, and he called them contradictory.
Using the Taipei City Government's (food safety) autonomous ordinances as an example, there are only standards for (ractopamine) pork. There are no standards for (American) beef. Isn't that a food safety issue? (If there are standards for beef), then how will all those places that use American beef, including steakhouses and beef noodle shops, continue to operate? There are so many mutual contradictions.
Chen also said the per capita annual consumption of U.S. pork is much lower than that of U.S. beef. He said that nearly all U.S. beef contains ractopamine, so the priority is making it easier for consumers to identify the origin. Meanwhile, Ko said he would send a letter to the Executive Yuan to request source management, clearly labelled flow charts, relevant revised content standards, and unique product codes.
台北市議會施政總質詢第一天，民進黨市議員們聚焦美國萊豬進口議題，輪番砲轟台北市長柯文哲，讓他忍不住，直接在議場開罵。
台北市長 柯文哲表示：「不管豬肉、牛肉，到底進台灣，你是要怎麼管理？從來沒有講過。明年1月1日就要上路了，一個國家，不是在1月1日要上路前，兩個月前，整個地方政府，都不曉得怎麼處理？怎麼會有這麼爛的農委會主委？」
罵完陳吉仲，柯文哲火氣還沒消，直指美豬美牛開放議題，不是食安問題。
台北市長 柯文哲表示：「2012年民進黨(擋美牛)癱瘓立法院幾天，請去看看過去，誰執政，誰就贊成；誰在野，誰就反對，多好笑。」
由於前一天，台北市議會在國民黨團的人數優勢下，通過食安自治條例修正案，若是檢出萊豬可罰6到10萬元。但梁文傑認為柯文哲隨著國民黨起舞，許淑華則批評，北市府藉此要求傳統市要源頭管理，反而引發攤商人心惶惶，簡舒培更拿出歷年統計數字，質疑北市府的肉品稽查次數，越來越少，民進黨市議員連番砲轟，要求柯文哲多跟中央溝通，對於北市議會通過萊豬罰則，陳吉仲則認為，充滿矛盾。
農委會主委 陳吉仲表示：「以北市府，這樣的一個(食安)自治條例為例，只規範(萊)豬，沒有規範到(美)牛，這個是屬於食安的一個議題嗎？（若規範牛)所有相關提供，美國牛肉的餐飲業，包括牛排館、牛肉麵(店)，這個後續怎麼經營，充滿許多互相的矛盾。」
陳吉仲指出，相較於美豬，國人一年食用的量，遠低於美牛，而且美牛幾乎都使用萊克多巴胺，強調當務之急，還是要讓消費者清楚知道產地來源。至於北市府應對萊豬進口的積極作為，柯文哲表示，會發文給行政院，要求源頭管理、標示清楚流程圖與修正相關含量標準，還有增加特殊貨號。
