It is forbidden to use Chlorpyrifos in the EU, but in Morocco it's used. Recently, imports of olives contaminated with high levels of this chemical have been detected, but they have entered into the EU.
Oftopic but related, In Morocco, too, strawberries are irrigated with sewage water, and several times this year consignments of strawberries contaminated with hepatitis virus have been detected, but unfortunately they have also entered the EU.
The point is that if health is at risk, then it should be banned at each of its sources, importation included.
Morocco is preparing a major import hub through the Canary Islands, which is expected to "un-label" the source of products, I guess.
Is aware the EU about this?
