COLOMBO : On the request of the Qingdao Seawin Biotech Ltd., I would like to forward a Media Statement made by them on the organic fertilizer issue.
In Chinese embassy statement, the Chinese company clarifies that:
1. The shipping arrangement is requested by Sri Lanka side.
2. The Import Permit should be obtained by buyer but not the seller.
3. The product samples have passed the test of Schutter group, a third-party international testing organization designated by the buyer and passed the export plant quarantine of China Customs before shipment.
4. The detection method and conclusion of NPQ in Sri Lanka do not comply with international animal and plant quarantine convention.
5. Some officials from Sri Lanka NPQ and the buyer, together with some local media are irresponsible when commenting the issue with baseless derogatory words that seriously slander the image of Chinese enterprise.
6. The Seller requests both parties to entrust the world’s most authoritative and the No.1 third-party testing organization (Swiss SGS group) to re-sampling as soon as possible to test whether the samples are contaminated by Erwinia. Both parties should unconditionally accept the test results and fulfill its responsibilities accordingly.
