Romania continues to defend stance on horsemeat

Core Tip: For the second time this week, Romanian Prime Minister Victor Ponta leapt to the defence of its meat industry.
Last week, French authorities identified two Romanian abattoirs as the source of horsemeat later sold to consumers as beef in up to 16 other EU countries.

“It’s extremely important, more important than it appears to us watching Romanian television, because it is a European problem affecting European consumers,” said Ponta. If ministers discovered anything illegal it would not be swept“under the carpet”, he said.

Ponta also repeated there was no evidence of Romanian companies or foreign companies in Romania breaching EU rules. On Monday he said suggestions of wrongdoing by the Romanian meat industry had made him “angry”. Neither Romanian company had exported meat identified as beef.
