RI, CHINA TO SIGN AGREEMENTS ON FOOD QUALITY STANDARDIZATION
Beijing, July 1 (ANTARA) - The governments of Indonesia and China are expected to sign a number of food product standardization agreements in an effort to avoid situations where one country rejects food products from the other because of differences in quality criteria, an Indonesian diplomat said here on Monday.
"The two countries will sign a number of Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) on food quality standardization," the head of Economic Function Affairs at the Indonesian Embassy (KBRI) Iwan S. Amri said.
According to Iwan S. Amri, a number of officials from China's
General Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ)were initially scheduled to visit Indonesia on July 2-6, 2008 for talks on the standardization plan.
However, the plan to sign the MoUs in Indonesia was temporarily postponed due to the preoccupation of the Chinese government with Olympic Games which will be held in Beijing on August 8-24, 2008.
"We have received notification on the postponement of the plan because the Chinese government is concentrating on the holding of the Olympic Games," he said.
He said that the MoUs would be signed after the Olympic Games had finished.
The two countries will establish cooperation on the standardization of export-import product quality. It would be carried out between the AQSIQ and Indonesia's Ministry of Maritime and Fisheries.
