Description
of content: This letter introduces
temporary restrictions on imports of live poultry, poultry products, eggs,
equipment for poultry, feed and feed additives for birds from Rio Grande do
Sul state of Brazil to the Russian Federation, as well as on the transit of
live birds through the territory of the Russian Federation due to the
outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in the region mentioned.
Additionally,
the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance informs
that due to deterioration of the epizootic situation, Brazilian enterprises
producing all types of poultry products have been assigned a "special
requirements" status in terms of the Registry of Establishments
authorised to export to the Customs Union for a period of three months from
the date of the restrictions. This status implies sampling within enhanced
laboratory control from every third incoming consignment from each Brazilian
enterprise to test for the presence of the avian influenza virus genome.
