THREE agreements signed by the Chinese mainland and Taiwan negotiators to cooperate in farm produce quarantine, employment of fishermen and to deal with different product quality standards are to take effect tomorrow, mainland sources said yesterday.
The three pacts were reached on December 22 at talks between the mainland's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits and Taiwan's Straits Exchange Foundation, which handle cross-Strait issues on behalf of their respective authorities.
Under the pact on farm produce quarantine, the two sides agreed to address differences in food safety standards and set up a mechanism to cope with farm produce quarantine emergencies.
The mainland and Taiwan will inform each other of epidemic outbreaks related to farm produce and report regularly on safety problems found in farm produce exports and imports, such as toxic substances and harmful infestations.
They will also set up a system to trace farm produce quality across the Strait.
The pact on cooperation in standards measuring, inspection and certification is to facilitate economic and trade contacts and improve the safety and quality of trade products. Both sides will work to set up common standards in key areas and building of a platform to share standards.
The deal on employment of fishermen will enable Taiwan fishing boat owners to hire people from the mainland to engage in offshore and deep-sea fishing and vice versa.
