Close exit
"Today a further and decisive step has been taken in Sardinia's final exit path fromswine fever emergency. All the commitments made in the road map agreed with the European Commission have been fully respected. I therefore confirm the EU's willingness to review the restrictions ”.
The words of the undersecretary
This was stated by Undersecretary for Health Andrea Costa, head of the delegation that met in Brussels with the Directorate General for Health and Food Safety of the European Commission, represented, among others, by the Director of EU Veterinary Services Bernard Van Goethem. “The conditions are in place for the Commission to express itself in December on the proposal that will allow a large part of Sardinia to return to the white zone - added Costa -.
Asl and Zooprophylactic Institute
Good news therefore for the inhabitants of the island and for all the entrepreneurs and operators in the sector who for too many years have suffered from the restrictive measures that have hit the sector. Even today's meeting, in fact, gave extremely positive feedback. The data and technical reports presented by the Region, the Local Health Authority and the Zooprophylactic Institute, which I thank for sharing and collaboration, provide robust indications regarding the eradication of the disease, thanks to a careful, timely and constant active and passive surveillance activity on the 'entire regional territory ”.
