China's cabinet orders inspections, reform of dairy industry

       １７日上午，国务院总理温家宝主持召开国务院常务会议，决定在全国全面检查奶制品，整顿奶制品行业。

　　会议认为，三鹿牌婴幼儿奶粉事件的发生，反映出奶制品市场混乱，监管机制存在漏洞，监管工作不力，必须认真吸取教训，以对人民高度负责的态度，做好事故处理，完善检验监督体制，加强监管工作。

　　An executive meeting of the State Council (cabinet), presided over by Premier Wen Jiabao, on Wednesday decided to launch national comprehensive tests of dairy products and reform the dairy industry.

　　According to the meeting, the incident involving the tainted Sanlu milk powder reflected chaotic industry conditions, as well as loopholes in the supervision and management of the industry.

　　It is necessary to learn lessons, properly deal with the incident, improve the inspection and supervision system and strengthen the management of the dairy industry, the meeting said.

　　The meeting also reached six other decisions and ordered governments at all levels to implement them. These decisions include:

　　-- providing the best and free medical care to those sickened by melamine-contaminated milk powder,

　　-- confiscating and destroying all sub-standard products,

　　-- strictly supervising the production of dairy companies with on-site inspectors,

　　-- revising regulations on the supervision and management of the industry,

　　-- subsidizing dairy farmers and encouraging more production by those enterprises with higher-quality products and,

　　-- finding the cause of the incident and punishing those responsible.

　　The Sanlu Group, a leading Chinese dairy producer based in the northern Hebei Province, admitted last week that it had found some of its baby milk powder products were contaminated with melamine, a chemical raw material. It issued an immediate recall of milk formula made before Aug. 6.

　　Three infants have died so far. There are at least 6,244 infant victims of the contaminated milk powder, of whom 158, or 2.5 percent, have acute kidney failure, the Ministry of Health said on Wednesday.
