非洲豬瘟橫行現檢驗破口 籲暫緩萊豬進口



中國國民黨今(26)日召開「非洲豬瘟橫行現檢驗破口 籲暫緩萊豬進口」記者會,由文傳會主委王育敏、副主委黃子哲、李永萍共同出席。國民黨表示,含非洲豬瘟的肉製品非法走私入台販售,經查已橫行12縣市。國民黨強調,邊境檢驗無法充分落實,也將使「豬肉儀表板」等相關資訊的參考價值受到嚴重質疑。




國民黨表示,對於非洲豬瘟防線出現破口,行政院長蘇貞昌怒飆關務署在查驗上未能百分百落實,導致防線被毀。然而,萊豬已開放進口將近九個月,政府竟是近日才發現專責航空包裹的X光機掃描作業並不具有「百分百檢驗」肉品的判斷功能,而人力判斷遇貨量多時又容易出現疏失,象徵食安防線早被攻破,蔡政府對於進口豬肉逐批查驗的承諾同樣失效。




根據全國公信力於7/20-22執行的民調數據,民眾對於是否同意在野黨主張「萊豬進口」應該先暫停,等到公投後再依據民意及公投結果,來決定是否持續推行?有60.3%民眾表示認同,不同意者23.3%。國民黨強調,在尚未爆出豬瘟肉品流竄市面前,對於應暫緩萊豬進口的民調即顯示偏高比例,如今在檢驗不確實的狀態下,民眾對於食用肉品的選擇等同直接被迫限縮,政府應盡速採納人民心聲、暫緩萊豬進口、補齊食安防線。




國民黨指出,蘇貞昌於2019年大動作宣示查驗機具或人力如有不足,政府將全力支持補足,對於來自高風險地區旅客的行李查驗應達到100%。2021年初,衛服部更表示,政府已新增三億兩千萬元的預算,增加約四分之一的邊境查驗人力。但比對如今關務署報告真實抽驗比例只有2%,似乎也警示政府邊境查驗量能極度不足,人力恐怕並未配置到位,並非蘇貞昌至機場視察航空包裹X光機檢查就可解決。




基於在野黨監督之責,國民黨亦將再度啟動公投宣傳活動,本週六、原本公投日的8月28日下午二時三十分將於希望廣場前(台北市北平東路與林森北路交叉口)舉行「1218重新出發!政府獨裁、公投制裁」戶外記者會,包括兩位公投領銜人江啟臣主席、林為洲委員以及秘書長李乾龍、革實院院長羅智強等人都將出席,同時亦邀集主席選舉候選人、黨籍立委、雙北市議員共同參與,青年朋友也將於現場進行宣講。當日預計發放限量一千份的台灣豬肉乾與小豬撲滿,宣達公投日延至12月18日的訊息,呼籲全民屆時出門行使公投權,用人民的力量停止政府錯誤的決策。




上述民調是以電話訪問方式,配合「CATI2012電腦輔助電話訪問系統」進行抽樣調查,有效樣本為1,069人,在95%的信心水準下,抽樣誤差為正負3個百分點。

KMT Urges Ractopamine Pork Imports to Be Suspended After African Swine Fever Inspection Breaches
 
     The Kuomintang (KMT) held a press conference on August 26 to appeal to the authorities to suspend pork imports due to the rampant inspection breaches of products infected with the African swine virus and pork containing ractopamine residue, commonly dubbed “ractopork” in Taiwan.
 
     The KMT criticized that the Customs Administration under Premier Su Tseng-chang failed to implement 100% secure inspections, resulting in a recent surge in smuggling of African swine fever infected pork products, on top of the Tsai administration’s controversial decision to lift the ban on pork imports containing the feed additive ractopamine nearly nine months ago. 
 
     According to national polls conducted in July, 60.3 percent of respondents think that imports of ractopork should be suspended until the  referendum on the issue is held in December, while only 23.3 percent disagree. The recent spat of the smuggling of African swine fever-infected pork products has only increased such sentiments.

     Furthermore, Premier Su Tseng-chang made a commitment in 2019 to earmark NT$320 million for more inspection manpower and technologies so as to inspect 100% of baggage from high-risk areas , but the actual sampling rate is only 2%.  This shows that the government's border inspection capacity is extremely insufficient, and the manpower is probably not in place. The fact that Premier Su showed up at the airport to inspect the air parcel X-ray machines can hardly solve all problems.

     Hence, on August 28, Chairman Johnny Chiang of the KMT held an outdoor press conference to call on all people to vote in the December 18 referendum against the importation of ractopork to defend their own rights in the face of the government’s poor decisions.
