Prohibition on import of milk and milk products from China - extended - Resurrection
THIS time the resurrection is symbolically around Christmas time.
The prohibition on import of milk and milk products including chocolates and chocolate products and candies/confectionary/food preparations with milk or milk solids as an ingredient, from China, imposed vide Notification No. 67(RE-2008)/2004-2009 dated 1st December, 2008 and extended vide Notification No. 49/2009-2014 dated 24th June, 2010, for a period of one year from 24th December, 2010 and until further orders . This prohibition that expired on 23 December 2010, was extended on 3 January 2011 but with effect from December 24, 2010, by Notification No. 16/(RE - 2010)/2009-2014, Dated: January 3, 2011.
This prohibition expired on 24 December 2011. Now, the DGFT has extended it on 26 December 2011, till 24.06.2012. Of course, the gap is only two days and there could not have been any imports on those two days; but why can't the Government wake up well on time?
