Taipei, May 1 (CNA) The opposition Kuomintang has proposed a law amendment requiring the central government to subsidize Taiwan's Labor Insurance Fund by at least NT$80 billion (US$2.71 billion) per year to prevent it from going bankrupt, KMT legislative caucus whip Tseng Ming-chung (曾銘宗) said Sunday.
The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) caucus yesterday called on the government to be more restrictive regarding the types of food that can be imported from Japan’s Fukushima and surrounding prefectures once an import ban is lifted.
The Executive Yuan on Tuesday last week said that Taiwan would soon allow the importation of food products that had been banned following the 2011 Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant disaster.
Foods imported from the five prefectures would need certificates of origin and radiation inspection certificates, while imports of mushrooms, meat from wild animals and hill potherbs from the prefectures would still be banned, it said.
