Only Spanish cucumbers were suspicious, then German bean sprouts, seeds are now to be a source of Egyptian EHEC epidemic. But in Egypt, the bacterium appeared to date does not occur. In Cairo, one abuses the EU. Which now sends experts to Egypt.

'Import ban ungerecht'Frisch germinated fenugreek seeds are in the rural provinces of Egypt to the goodies that you offer visitors on major holidays. An EHEC outbreak in Germany, where this year more than 50 people were killed by a dangerous intestinal germ has never been one recorded on the Nile. Yet it is the EU considers it possible that the seeds in late 2009 in a delivery of about 15 tons of Egyptian fenugreek seeds reached Europe sind.Die most Egyptians keep the ban for its seeds, which has imposed the European Union a few days ago to be absurd and unjust. The government intends to explain the team of experts that the EU wants to send to Egypt on Sunday, hoping for the matter to the bottom of gehen.Die Egyptians, that this visit will be opened after the import ban. From EU sources said, however, it is expected to exceed the short term so that some other seeds and sprouts, which had been prohibited for safety reasons as well, would be removed from the prohibited list.

The EU experts will have to drive in the southern province of Minia, were grown where the suspect fenugreek seeds in 2009 on an organic farm and in the oasis town of Faiyum, where an exporter, the seeds packaged before they were brought by ship to Europe.

Brüssel und Kairo verschieben EHEC-Mission

Brüssel (dpa) - Rückschlag in der EHEC-Aufklärung: Eine für die kommenden Tage geplante EU-Mission nach Kairo soll nun doch erst im Herbst stattfinden. Sie wurde kurzfristig verschoben. Die Europäische Union hatte Anfang Juli die Einfuhr bestimmter Sprossensamen aus Ägypten gestoppt.

Damit war sie auf das Unverständnis ägyptischer Behörden gestoßen. Die Reise eines EU-Expertenteams nach Kairo sollte bei der Aufklärung helfen. Doch nun gebe es zwischen Brüssel und Kairo noch keine Verständigung über den «Rahmen der Mission», sagte der Sprecher von EU-Kommissar John Dalli. Strittig sei etwa, welche konkreten Themen und Dokumente besprochen werden sollten. Die Mission werde frühestens im September starten.
