Reporter: Professor, will the authority ban all the import of eggs from Europe?

Secretary for Food and Health: The Centre for Food Safety has already done a number of measures in terms of the problematic eggs. First of all, on the import level, they have increased the surveillance and also checked all the eggs from the respective countries that have problems, for example, Belgium, and also Holland. As far as the retail level is concerned, they have also tracked the problematic eggs, as well as increased the surveillance on eggs, especially, you know, coming from European countries.
