Inspectors from the State Veterinary Authority are planning to carry out checks on around 30 percent of stands stalls selling carp, the fish that most Czechs eat for Christmas dinner. There are almost 2,400 such vendors in place around the country. Last year inspectors carried out checks on over 900 carp stands, uncovering shortcomings in 2.4 percent of cases. This was an improvement on previous years.
