Agriculture Minister Nick Brown said he had personally decided not to buy French food or wine after Paris maintained its ban on British beef despite an EU ruling. He refused. however, to accede to demands by opposition leaders and farmers' groups for an all-out ban on French produce, saying it was up to the European Commission to sort out the row. The government says it does not want to break EU laws by imposing its own retaliatory embargo. The protests shifted up a gear Friday, particularly in the press, after a European Commission report said some French livestock feeds contained animal parts and human excrement. A Downing Street spokesman said Prime Minister Tony Blair telephoned Brown "to congratulate him and say he fully supports the tough stance he is taking over the French ban." He added: "Tony Blair believes Britain has the strongest possible case and is confident the European Commission will support the British position in the future as it has in the past." Earlier, Brown said the practice of feeding livestock sewage was "a pretty horrible thing," but rejected calls to ban French food products. (cont) nandotimes.com
