21.02.09; List of third countries or parts thereof from which imports into the European Community of certain fresh meat are authorised
On 20 October 2008, an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease was suspected in a farm located in the district of Ghanzi, situated in the veterinary disease control zone 12 of Botswana. As soon as the outbreak was confirmed, the competent authority in Botswana suspended exports of fresh meat to the EU from the whole of the country.

In view of these circumstances, imports into the European Community of certain fresh meat from the veterinary disease control zone 12 of Botswana was no longer authorised by EU legislation.

 

Considering that the competent authority in Botswana has now provided sufficient guarantees regarding the measures put in place to control the spread of the disease which have been effective in eliminating infection of foot-and-mouth disease it is appropriate to re-instate veterinary disease control zone 12 thereby once again allowing exports of certain fresh meat into the EU from that zone.
