November 1st, 2005
BY KEITH NUTHALL
THE EUROPEAN Commission has lightened a range of bans against importing poultry and poultry products from Turkey, Croatia and Romania imposed because of outbreaks of bird flu. For Croatia and Turkey, Brussels has scrapped national import bans, replacing them with bans on imports from the regions directly affected with the disease. A national ban on live poultry exports will continue for Romania, but trade will be allowed in poultry meat and related products for all areas but those hit by the disease.
