[www.keralites.net] BBC News-An EU-wide ban on mangoes from India

 

Ban on Indian mango imports to EU comes into force

 


 
The ban also includes aubergines, two types of squash, and a type of leaf used in Indian cooking.
Shipments of mangoes were suspended into Europe after consignments were found to be infested with fruit flies.
The UK imports around £6.3m worth of Indian mangoes per year out of a UK mango market worth £68m in total.
Non-European food pests were found in 207 shipments of fruit and vegetables in 2013.
Indian mango exporters said they have put checks in place and have approached the authorities in Brussels to try to get the ban lifted.
"Since we got to know about the issue in March, we've put in place an elaborate examination and certification procedure that addresses the issue raised by the EU," said Ajay Sahai, director general of the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO), a body affiliated with the Indian Department of Commerce.
Local prices for mangoes fell around 15% in the few days before the ban came into force, Mr Sahai said.
The UK imports a total of 56,205 tonnes of mangoes per year, of which 4,816 tonnes, or 8.5%, come from India.
Premium Alphonso mangoes, which are popular in the UK, are in season as the ban comes into force.
UK mango importer Monica Bhandari said that it was a "knee-jerk reaction" for the European Commission to put the ban in place, and that mangoes could be treated with water to get rid of insects.
"We ourselves have only imported treated mangoes this year, and we have had zero instances of pests found in our products," she told the BBC.
She added that the European Commission did not seem to have consulted importers before moving to a ban.
Mangoes are imported into the UK from a number of countries, including Brazil, Peru, Kenya, Uganda, South America, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), which voted to put the ban in place, is working with Indian authorities and the European Commission to try to get the ban lifted.
The ban includes imports of Momordica and Snake Gourd squashes, and Patra leaves, which are used in a dish called Patra.

[www.keralites.net] BEAUTY TIPS...........

 

  

For attractive lips,
 Speak words of kindness!


For lovely eyes,
 Seek out the good in people!



For a slim figure,
 Share your food with the hungry!


For beautiful hair,
 Let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day!



For poise,
 Walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone!


People, even more than things, have to be 

restored, renewed, revived,
reclaimed, and redeemed;
Never throw out anybody!


Remember, If you ever need a helping hand,
you'll find one at the end of your arm!


As you grow older,you will discover that you have two hands,
one for helping yourself, the other for helping others!



The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries, or the way she 

combs her hair!


The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart, the place

 where love resides!


The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul!

It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion 

that she knows, And the beauty of a woman with passing years-only grows!
