| China to tackle 'gutter oil' |
中国向地沟油“宣战” |
| Special campaigns will be carried out in Sept. and Oct. to eradicate "gutter oil" which can cause cancer, according to a circular issued Monday by the State Council. Gutter oil, usually made from refined kitchen waste, was once commonly used by small restaurants, according to media reports. The campaign will target places where gutter oil is produced as well as small restaurants and school cafeterias. Catering establishments which use the illegal oil could face punishments ranging from suspension of operations to revocation of their business licenses. |
国务院周一发文，宣布今年9月至10月将开展旨在根除“地沟油”的专项整治活动。会诱发癌症的地沟油大多由餐厨废弃物提炼制作而成，此前据媒体报道，小型饭馆普遍使用地沟油。此次整治将排查清理生产地沟油的窝点，也会加强对小型饭馆以及学校餐厅的餐厨废弃物管理。使用地沟油的餐饮企业将被暂停营业资格，严重的则被吊销营业执照。

About 3 million people turned a portion of the A40 Autobahn where cars normally cruise at speeds of 160 kph or more into one of the biggest open-air festivals in Germany's history on July 18. 60 km of the busy highway between the western German cities of Dortmund and Duisburg were closed to motorists so pedestrians, cyclists, skaters and picnickers could participate in what organizers called "the longest banquet in the world." The event called "Still Life" was part of celebrations for the Ruhr region Cultural Capital of Europe 2010.
