Farm minister welcomes EU's unified food quality tests

The unified methodology for food quality testing recently unveiled by the European Commission will make it possible to obtain a better view of the differences in products that attempt to "pretend to be identical when they're actually deceiving consumers", said Slovak Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Gabriela Matecna (a Slovak National Party/SNS nominee) on Monday. "Critics won't be able to challenge the results of our tests any more, claiming that we've been using different methodology than other EU-member countries," said Matecna.
