The World Organization for Animal Health has disseminated
information on eliminating the threat associated with highly
dangerous diseases detected in various animal species in several
countries of the world, the Food Safety Agency of Azerbaijan told
Trend.
In addition, the waiting period also ended and the corresponding
health status for a number of countries has been restored. As a
result, there was a need to review the restrictions imposed on the
import of livestock and animal products to Azerbaijan from
different countries.
“In this regard, it was decided to abolish a number of
restrictions imposed by the relevant decisions of the agency in the
field of veterinary. Thus, based on the official information of the
World Organization for Animal Health, restrictions on the import of
livestock and animal products from various countries introduced due
to highly pathogenic avian influenza, Newcastle disease, nodular
dermatitis, foot and mouth disease, flower disease of small cattle
and bluetongue disease have been eliminated," the agency said.
"Entrepreneurs, as well as the relevant veterinary authorities
of other countries, have been informed about the decision. Food
Safety Agency appealed to the State Customs Committee (SCC) for
relevant measures,” said the message.
