The
Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture issued the Decision No.
118357 dated 24 December 2015 entitled "Temporary Ban of Importation of
Live Bird, Hatching Egg and One‑day Old Chick" originating from Dordogne
and Landes, France, due to the outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza
(HPAI) in Dordogne and Landes, France. The Ministry of Environment, Water and
Agriculture has subsequently issued the Decision No. 205/1291/1439 dated 4 February 2018
(18/05/1439 H), lifting the temporary ban on the importation of live birds,

France. In compliance with the OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code,
Chapter 10.4, the risk of importing live birds, hatching eggs and one-day old
chicks from France is negligible.
