China and USA Agree to Ensure Safety of Trade Goods      

On December 13th, 2007 China and the United States signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) of cooperation on protecting human health and environment in the area of imports and exports, at the Third China-U.S. Strategic Economic Dialogue.
    According to the MOU, joint efforts will be made to regulate the imported and exported products between the United States and China, such as monitoring wastes and recycling materials, guarantee the security of chemicals, and check pesticide residues.
    "The MOU would help build mutual contacts and form effective mechanisms to resolve problems and promote the healthy development of mutual trade," said an official of China's General Administration of Quality, Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.
