Meanwhile, Poland resists the clinseed and the lean, but the Minister warns of the highest risk of infection in history and tightens border controls.
Slintečka and Krivačka have not yet occurred in Poland, the Polish Minister of Agriculture Czeslaw Siekierski said on Sunday on Sunday X. However, he warned that the risk of outbreak of the disease is now higher than ever. TASR informs about this on the basis of the report of the agency PAP.
In this context, Siekierski pointed out the situation in Slovakia, where an extraordinary situation was announced for the spreading of the infection. He also mentioned the occurrence of new cases in Hungary. “In Poland, the clinker and the Kriva do not occur, but its threat is greater than ever,” he wrote in the post on the network X.
The Minister warned Polish farmers not to try to profit from possible low prices of goods and animals. “All significantly reduced prices of attractive products, goods or animals are a great risk in this period,” he wrote.
Poland banned 21 March from Slovakia Imports of live animals – even biological materials, meat and dairy products, as well as by -animal products, manure, straw, hay and others. This responded to the confirmation of the occurrence of clinkers and codes on Slovak farms at the border with Hungary. Siekierski has now said that such a blockade at the border with the Slovak Republic will remain in force until the European Commission has taken the executive decision, approaching PAP.
“Intensive controls continue to cooperate with the police, the border guard, the customs administration and the road transport inspection. These services focus their efforts on key freight passages on the Slovak and Czech border,” he added.
In addition, the Minister explained that the specialized facility in the city of Zhuňska Wola works continuously to reveal the potential extension of animal infection, and per week performs more than 1000 laboratory tests for this purpose.
