EU subsidy may hurt the Indian dairy industry to shield its dairy industry from the pinch of global economic meltdown, the European Commission has decided to reinstate export subsidies on dairy products, which it suspended in 2007. The move may adversely impact India
New Delhi: The Delhi Government has extended for three months the ban on sale of Chinese dairy products, which contained high-level of kidney-stone causing chemical, in the national Capital. The products were banned in the country in September last year in the wake of the detection of high level of industrial chemical melamine that had affected thousands of children in China late last year.
Beijing: Please forgive us, a group of Chinese dairy firms said in a New Year text message sent to millions of mobile phone subscribers.
The 22 dairy firms, led by the now-bankrupt Sanlu, apologised and asked forgiveness for the contamination of their products by melamine, which killed at least six babies and made 290,000 ill.

Candy, snacks, bakery products, pet food and other Chinese products that contain milk will be detained at the U.S. border until tests prove that they are not contaminated, the U.S. government announced.
Before melamine-laced milk killed and sickened Chinese babies and led to recalls around the world, the routine spiking of milk with illicit substances was an open secret in China's dairy regions, according to the accounts of farmers and others with knowledge of the industry.
Chinese regulators said over the weekend that they had confiscated and destroyed more than 3,600 tons of animal feed tainted with melamine, an industrial chemical that has been blamed for contaminating food supplies in China and for leading to global recalls of Chinese dairy products.
