Don't panic

THE START of the second sheep dipping season and slaughter in Britain this week left British hauliers involved with lamb exports to France feeling cautious.
This is despite the new agreement between French and British authorities which ended the last bout of disruption for abattoirs and their hauliers.
Stranded hauliers in France, at that time faced delays while the lamb was tested for its content level of Lindane.
They were ordered to return to Britain fully loaded if the meat did not comply to the French permitted levels — or if they were carrying the carcasses of an abattoir whose Iamb had already been found unacceptable on former tests.
While one source claims that French testing of British lamb started up again a week and a half ago and could continue until December, National Farmers' Union livestock and wool committee secretary John Tuckwell told CM: It is unwise to panic every time there is a new development.
