APHIS May Loosen Import Restrictions on Swine, Ruminants and Pork From Cyprus
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has preliminarily found Cyprus free of several diseases affecting swine and ruminants, it said (here). In response to a request from the Cypriot government, the agency found Cyprus is free of foot-and-mouth disease, rinderpest, and swine vesicular disease, and as low risk for classical swine fever. If it confirms these findings, restrictions on importation of swine, ruminants, pork and pork products from Cyprus will be removed. Comments are due March 24.
