An official in charge of Taiwan-Japan ties says restrictions on Japanese food imports can only be lifted if their safety can be guaranteed.
Taiwan maintains a ban on food products from five Japanese prefectures affected by the Fukushima nuclear incident in 2011.
On Tuesday, Chang Shu-ling, secretary-general of the Taiwan-Japan Relations Association, said Taiwan has watched recent developments in South Korea and China, where similar bans have been in place.
Chang said that lifting Taiwan’s ban will require a process in line with WTO rules and a science-based guarantee of safety. [SOURCE]
