The European Union, fearing a link （1） madcow disease (BSE疯牛病) and human health, placed a word-wide ban （2） the export of British beef and beef products on March 27th. Yet still the number of British cattle to be incinerated (焚化 ) remain unclear.
While Germany’s chancellor (总理), Hulmut Kohl, was in London gamely (勇敢地，潇洒地) chewing British beef （3） John Major, his farm minister was in Luxembourg eating lamb-and demanding, （4） with other EU ministers, more action （5） Britain to restore public confidence.
But what? Britain, has already said that cattle （6） the age of 30 months will not enter the food chain-a promise perhaps （7） the abattoir 1 present capacity. Now it pledges a selective cull (蹩脚货) of another 42,000 cattle linked to BSE-infected herds. The killing, officials said on May 1st, would start （8） days. Add better inspections and abattoir controls, and the EU agrees there is an argument （9） lifting the ban.
