The Commission took a decision to restrict exports of live pigs and porcine semen from England, in response to outbreaks of classical swine fever, (CSF). CSF is a highly infectious viral disease of swine but poses no risk to humans. Similar restrictions have been adopted in the past in relation to outbreaks in several other Member States. The Commission decision applied only to 31 August 2000. |
