(AP) - Yasuhiro Yoshikawa, chairman of a Japanese government panel on mad cow disease, arrives for a panel meeting in Tokyo Monday, Oct. 31, 2005. The risk of mad cow infection in U.S. beef is nearly as low as Japanese beef if proper precautions are taken, the panel ruled Monday, in a decision expected to lead to an easing of an import ban that has caused tensions with Washington. 'Based on the assumption that all precautions are taken as requested, we consider the difference in risk between U.S. and Japanese beef to be extremely small,' Yoshikawa said, reading the report to his colleagues.
