1. The
United States reiterates its concern that China has not lifted restrictions on
US poultry exports from US states that have been declared HPAI-free in a manner
consistent with the bilateral regionalization protocol.

meat can resume as soon as possible and requests that China lift restrictions
on exports from US states declared to be HPAI-free based on the bilateral
regionalization protocol and WOAH guidance.

with China to address our concerns with this measure.
