The European Union said it will further reinforce its radiation controls on imports of food and animal feed from Japan from next week, in response to the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

The announcement came the day after Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan asked Europe for a "calm, logical response" to the issue of Japanese food imports, and two weeks after the 27-nation bloc tightened its limits on such goods.
