國民黨執政守住牛豬分離原則 也能維持台美關係
針對經濟部長王美花說不開放美豬，台美關係永遠沒辦法繼續走下去等語，中國國民黨今（28）日強調，蔡政府一直沒說清楚，台灣開放瘦肉精豬肉進口，能向美國要到什麼？又如何能提升台灣國際地位？另一方面，人民也要質疑，為何國民黨執政時能守住「牛豬分離、排除內臟」等原則，也能維持台美關係發展？民進黨如今卻做不到？
此外，王美花說美豬只要是檢驗合格的，「沒道理說不能吃」。國民黨要請王美花去問問教育部，為何不開放含瘦肉精豬肉進入校園？也請問問農委會，為何不開放台灣豬使用瘦肉精？若照王美花的邏輯，教育部、農委會、衛福部這些作法顯然都是「沒道理」！國民黨呼籲蔡英文總統應督促政務官，停止自打嘴巴自相矛盾的言論！更呼籲全民用公投票表達拒絕瘦肉精豬肉的堅定意志，讓蔡政府「明白道理」。
Former KMT Government Maintained Ban on US Pork Imports
While Still Maintaining Robust ROC-US Relationship
Economic Minister Wang Mei-Hua’s (王美花) recently stated that if we never lift the ban on US pork,
we will never be able to advance our relationship with the US. In response, the
Kuomintang (KMT) today (9/28) emphasized the fact that President Tsai has still
not made it clear what we will acquire and how our international presence will
benefit from lifting the ban on US pork containing ractopamine residue
(racto-pork) imports. In addition, the people also question why the former KMT
Government could position themselves differently towards imports of US beef and
pork, exclude animal offal from
the list of permitted import items, and improve our relationship with the US
simultaneously. However, the current DPP government, as far as we are
concerned, fails to do so.
Additionally, Minister Wang said that as long as US
racto-pork can actually pass food inspection, “it is, as a matter of common
sense, edible.” In this case, the KMT would like to ask her to consult with the
Ministry of Education as to why US racto-pork is still banned in schools, and
to inquire with the Council of Agriculture as to why the usage of ractopamine
is not permitted for raising pigs in Taiwan. According to Minister Wang’s
logic, none of the policies implemented by the Ministry of Education, the
Council of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Health & Welfare make sense at
all! The KMT urges the people of Taiwan to express our firm rejection of
racto-pork by participating in our nationwide referendum to counter the DPP
government’s decision to open the country to US racto-pork. The KMT also calls
on President Tsai Ing-wen and her ranking officials to stop contradicting
themselves and start making actual sense!
