The import restrictions for certain animal products from Hungary will be a looser again from Monday. The import ban is limited to those areas affected by the mouth and mouth disease. This means that they are shown as protection, surveillance or other limited zones.
This was announced on Saturday by the Austrian Ministry of Health. Living animals, fresh meat, raw milk, manure and stable manure, deer, wild in the ceiling and hunting trophies from certain areas are influenced by the import ban. The Ministry of Health is closely against the Food Safety Agency (age), the neighboring countries and the European Commission, said it in a broadcast on Saturday. The introduction of the high -containing animal disease in Austria must be prevented.
Hungary and Slovakia have taken measures
The vets in Hungary and Slovakia have since taken intensive measures to combat the plague. The ban on import can therefore now be “geographically differentiated”. The reinforced border controls remain upright, the small border crossings are closed. In addition, according to the ministry, samples in the surveillance zone and studies in the extensive blocking zone are still used for national samples.
Which areas are currently considered protected, monitoring or limited zone can be viewed on the Consumer Health Authority website. A auxiliary mission of the federal army in Lower Austria starts on Monday. 28 Soldiers provide disease carpets during the transferred to Hohenau and Berg.
So far no case in Austria
Cases of the mouth and mouth disease were reported from Slovakia, Hungary and Romania, among others. No case took place in Austria. The virus is not a danger for people and animals other than claw animals. Cows, pigs, deer, goats and sheep can infect, among other things. Symptoms for all affected animal species are the formation of blisters in the mouth, udder and claws, fever, pain, apathy and lameness.
