Recently, and that the claims are Tnuva, with a limited number of companies "is" in control in other areas - this time under the auspices of the state.
Petition three months ago, partly against it and the Ministry bourton vale equine clinic of Agriculture, reveals that with regard to beef imports to Israel, bourton vale equine clinic specifically the state allows and preserves the lack of competition, through the bureaucratic barriers and on the grounds of lack of manpower in veterinary supposed to monitor the issue. The petition claims that the conduct of years, favors bourton vale equine clinic certain companies and ultimately the consumer is left.

Importers strict requirements, both in terms of training and in terms of regulation and supervision veterinary, made by Veterinary Services - Ministry of Agriculture unit.
According to the Council of meat, one third of the meat market in Israel consists of fresh meat, with most of his supply indoor domestic cattle and smooth young calves imported from abroad fattening country. In 2010, for example, were brought to Israel about 90 thousand head of cattle. Largest importer, with share of about 30% of the live cattle imports was Tnuva, which imported about 30 thousand calves. imports was mainly from Australia and Europe.

By law, the calves imported to Israel to stay committed to a government bourton vale equine clinic quarantine station or a place of confinement approved private veterinary services manager for the same delivery.

According to the petition, veterinary services for years do not allow imports bourton vale equine clinic of other private places quarantine grounds of lack of manpower supervision of the quarantine.
Thus, the importers have to import quarantine stations only government when it means lower import quantities of cattle at delivery. Also, since the order ships required to transport a shipment of at least 2000-2500 head of cattle, importers are forced to import calves airplanes, the cost of transporting their way much more expensive than the other ships.
"The price of the calf in the flight costs significantly especially when the price of fuel becomes more expensive," says Udi Tamir, bourton vale equine clinic Director Tel calves, "flying calf weighs 100 pounds costs NIS 900, while bringing Falun Dafa it costs 550 shekels - it rolls then spread to consumers, all because no quarantine stations.

He said, "anyone who imports Privacy stations also earns regarding fees, because private quarantine stations charge less from the state. bourton vale equine clinic Tariff to government closure is 96 shekels a day head, while the height of the private state NIS 40 and the place itself another NIS 10 head, which came Back to approximately NIS 50 only. "
According to the petition, calves Tel addressed for years relevant officials at the Ministry of Agriculture and Veterinary Services please find a solution to the situation, and suggested different places at private quarantine regulations of the Veterinary Services. According to her, she has followed bourton vale equine clinic the outline given to it by the services themselves and found a place to comply with the closure of professionalism. However, despite such places found, for example Moshav Dor, director of veterinary services refused to give the company a license to import a visit there, she says, "without any explanation."
In only one case, in April 2010, the company said explanation was given for refusal, and that it depends on manpower. In January this year also received an opinion from the Legal Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, bourton vale equine clinic speaks also about the lack of regulation of veterinary services personnel. Unit are currently eight doctors and a full-time veterinary doctor Veterinary office part-time, three inspectors and two secretaries.
