Beef check: Gyeonggi Governor Kim Moon-soo sniffs at piece of American beef during his visit to a refrigerated storage in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. The presidential hopeful made the trip to check the quarantine inspection system of imported beef amid growing public concern over mad cow disease. Korea has decided to continue U.S. beef imports with strengthened quarantine checks following the latest mad cow outbreak in the United States. Opposition parties and critics urged an immediate halt to imports, claiming the government promised to do so in the event of a new outbreak of the disease.
