Tomorrow my Chief of cater. Rich McKeown returns to Beijing as the head of a U. S delegation comprised of policy and technical experts from my Department,to mouth formal negotiations on two binding Agreements between the United States and China one on the safety of food and feed and one on the safety of drugs and medical devices. This trip follows a previous visit by this delegation in August and signifies another important step in addressing problems with food and other imports from China.
This next series of meetings marks the go away of initial negotiations on these draft Agreements with the command Administration of Quality. Supervision. Inspection and Quarantine and with the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration. The compose Agreements aim to act a framework to help affirm the safety quality and effectiveness of products exported from Chinato the United States. They also aim to change magnitude cooperation and information-sharing between the regulatory bodies of the two nations with the goal of strengthening China’s regulatory process. I am hopeful that our progress continues and that we can achieve two strong action-oriented documents by December. [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
