EU to hold emergency E. coli meeting

If there are 22 dead and thousands sick from raw sprouts the best response – hold a meeting.

EU agriculture ministers will hold an emergency meeting tomorrow on the outbreak of lethal E. coli and its impact on vegetable producers, an EU presidency spokesman said.

"They will be taking stock of the situation of the EHEC (strain of E. coli) outbreak both from the market perspective and also food safety."

At some point maybe the Euro-types will realize, healthy people, not barfbing people, is a better goal.
