Are wheat inspection bureaucrats getting the slap on the wrist they sorely need?

Are wheat inspection bureaucrats getting the slap on the wrist they sorely need? Agriculture Minister Abdel Moneim El Banna approved yesterday a major shakeup in the ministry's Agriculture Quarantine Authority, Al Masry Al Youm reports. While the shuffle was ostensibly done to improve quality control standards, it comes against a backdrop of a showdown between the government and wheat traders on one side, and the Administrative Court and disgruntled wheat inspectors on the other over the return of the zero-tolerance policy on ergot. Supply Minister Ali El Moselhy had declared that the government was fighting the Administrative Court’s decision to impose the zero-tolerance policy and that it would continue to allow shipments of 0.05% of ergot — the global standard.
