Change in Disease Status of Portugal Because of African Swine Fever

Краткое содержание

We are proposing to remove Portugal from the list of regions where African swine fever exists. We are proposing this action because Portugal is now free of African swine fever. This action would relieve restrictions due to African swine fever on the importation of pork and pork products into the United States from Portugal. However, because Portugal is on the list of regions where hog cholera exists and the list of regions that are subject to certain restrictions because of their proximity to or trading relationships with rinderpest-or foot- and-mouth disease-affected countries, Portugal would continue to be subject to certain restrictions regarding the importation into the United States of pork and pork products.
