On the 29th
January 2015 The World Organisation for Animal Health confirmed an outbreak of
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in the USA. The USA
has no been removed from the low risk category list until further notice for
laboratory products derived from avian materials produced within 21
days prior to the outbreak.
The variation will limit avian products from
the USA that can be imported under the permit to those produced before 29
December 2014. The variation takes effect immediately.
This variation to the permit means that from
yesterday, we will no longer be permitted to import any avian derived
products produced on or after 29 December 2014 from the USA.
We will be able to continue to import product from these
countries with a production date before 29 December 2014 under
a varied permit.
The Department of Agriculture this morning has issued
the varied DAFF permit to us. The previous permit will be removed from the
Institutes intranet and replaced with the new one.
If staff have any questions relating to this please do
not hesitate to contact Steve Bouralexis
