United Kingdom: UK Imposes Foot and Mouth Restrictions on Germany
Following confirmation of Foot and Mouth Disease in Germany, the United Kingdom (UK) government has taken immediate unilateral action to mitigate against the risk or it spreading to Great Britain (England, Wales, and Scotland). The UK has suspended import of commodities from Germany including live ungulates and their germplasm, fresh meat from ungulates, meat products from ungulates, milk and animal by-products unless treated to mitigate FMD risk. Further safeguard measures restricting the commercial import to the UK of animal by-products, hay, and straw from Germany, unless treated to effectively mitigate the risk of FMD, are expected to be published shortly.
