Germany: ASF in Lower Saxony
The Federal Ministry of Agriculture explained in a press release that in the last few weeks an informal application to shorten the period for the exclusion zone has been drawn up at the EU Commission together with Lower Saxony. Last weekend, the Lower Saxony Ministry of Agriculture sent all the information that was still required so that an application for the reduction of the deadline could finally be made in Brussels. The application provides information on the epidemiological situation and the protective measures taken in the restricted area in the districts of Emsland and Grafschaft Bentheim.
Federal Minister of Agriculture Cem Özdemir is now appealing to the EU Commission to come to a decision quickly - in the interests of the affected farms, as more and more pigs are reaching their slaughter weight. He also wants to campaign for the slaughter of pigs from the ASF restriction areas. In this regard, the ministry is also holding talks with Canada to coordinate modalities for resuming pork exports.
