ASF in Spain: New update on export restrictions

The Ministry of Agriculture has again updated its information on the impact of African swine fever (ASF) on Spanish exports of pork products and derivatives.

This latest report highlights:

• Japan: The suspension of imports of Spanish pork products remains in place, although the export of pork products packaged on or before October 29 is permitted.
• The United States continues to recognize EU regionalization, meaning that pork products can be imported from the unrestricted area, except for pork casings, which are suspended for all of Spain.
• A supplementary certificate is created with the virus inactivation treatments listed by WOAH for countries that require it, including Brazil and Chile.
