Poor farming and slaughtering practices should be dealt with by effective monitoring and enforcement, not by banning a simple, effective way of eradicating potentially lethal bacterial infections right before the meat goes to market.
But, as I said earlier, I don’t buy the EU’s line about it being a simple and effective way of ensuring animal welfare and food hygiene. There have been lobbyists and vested interests at work somewhere - when it comes to EU directives, there always are.

This is where we disagree in the context of trade agreements. It's outcomes that matter and if the meat is wholesome and cooks well, then I'd expect harmful bacteria not to be present and washing is as good a way as any.
