The measures ended on 20 May to protect against the mouth and claw disease (MKS). The condition is that there are no new cases of animal disorders. After weeks without new infected animals in neighboring countries, the deputy Anja Haider-Wallner of the Burgenland greur showed “carefully optimistic”.
The planned opening of the border crossings to Slovakia and Hungary will facilitate the life of commuters, she said. The blocking zones must also be canceled and all import bans for meat must be removed. The border controls and assistance operations of the federal army in Burgenland and Lower Austria must be terminated, unless there are other cases of mouth and mouth disease.
The arms of the army started on April 14 and were asked before 20 May. 24 smaller border crossings were closed on April 5 and must be opened again on 21 May. The reason for the cancellation of the limited zones is a decision of the European Commission, said it of the office of State Secretary Ulrike Königsberger-Ludwig (Spö).
“Use us to regulate regulations”
In the coming weeks, caution is still required in farms, for example due to strict hygiene and organic safety measures, said Haider-Wallner (Greens). “We are therefore very committed to the federal government for regulations that ensure a high degree of safety for companies and animals after 20 May.”
The final decision to take the measures will only be taken next week.
