France
on Sunday said there were solid reasons to believe that meat processing
firm Spanghero had passed off horsemeat in meals labelled beef but
insisted that unwitting workers should not be penalised.
The
government said it was meeting with representatives of the 300-odd
workers on Monday. The sanitary licence of the Spanghero plant was
temporarily revoked last week.
"The
government distinguishes responsibility for what seems to be the
actions of Spanghero's leaders from the work of its employees," the
agriculture ministry said in a statement.
It added however that there was "serious, precise and corroborating evidence of consumer fraud at a European level."
The
government on Thursday presented the results of its initial
investigation that said Spanghero had knowingly sold 750 tonnes of
horsemeat mislabelled as beef over a period of six months.

Monday's
meeting between the workers, Agriculture Minister Stephane Le Foll and
Consumer Affairs Minister Benoit Hamon is aimed at determining how
employees will be paid until the plant can re-open.
