外媒：大量美國(guó)牛肉經(jīng)香港走私至中國(guó)大陸

    食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊   據(jù)外媒報(bào)道，近日美國(guó)副貿(mào)易代表霍麗曼（Robert Holleyman）稱，盡管中國(guó)政府在打擊農(nóng)產(chǎn)品走私，但還有“大量”美國(guó)牛肉正在繞過中國(guó)的進(jìn)口禁令進(jìn)入中國(guó)內(nèi)地；盡管中國(guó)政府在打擊農(nóng)產(chǎn)品走私。

    霍麗曼表示，牛肉通過香港進(jìn)入內(nèi)地，不清楚有多少美國(guó)牛肉通過香港轉(zhuǎn)運(yùn)至內(nèi)地，但美國(guó)出口到香港的牛肉已經(jīng)超過了香港的牛肉消費(fèi)量。美國(guó)農(nóng)業(yè)部數(shù)據(jù)顯示，去年美國(guó)向香港出口了超過154,500噸牛肉和牛肉制品，較上一年增加近19%。

    部分原文報(bào)道如下：

    （Reuters） - “Huge amounts” of American beef are bypassing China's import bans, a top U.S. trade official said this week, even as the Chinese government cracks down on agricultural smuggling.

    The meat enters through Hong Kong, Deputy U.S. Trade Representative Robert Holleyman said at the National Lieutenant Governors Association conference on Wednesday.

    U.S. beef is currently barred from mainland China because of previous cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, also known as mad cow disease. U.S. trade officials have been trying to get China to lift the ban, but with little success.
