France on Friday said it opposed a European Union decision to lift a ban on fish meal made from ground-up pigs or poultry that came as the bloc faces a spiralling horsemeat scandal. "It's bad timing," said France's junior food minister Guillaume Garot. "France is against this European measure," he told France Info. The European Commission on Thursday re-authorised the use of Processed animal proteins (PAPs) derived from non-ruminant farmed animals, in this case mainly pigs and poultry, in fish feed.
