Introduction: Philippine agriculture minister montemayo has released a statement to lift the ban on the import of British live pigs and pork products According to montmayo, Philippine importers can now import live pigs, pork, pork products and pig semen from the UK, given that the international animal epidemic office in Paris confirmed on January 21 that the UK has eliminated foot-and-mouth disease, but must import the products from farms without any signs of disease and slaughterhouses with legal export certificates The Philippines issued the ban on February 23, 2001, after the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Britain was confirmed by the OIE In 2000, the Philippines imported 700 tons of pork and pork products from the UK The Ministry of Agriculture said that although the government now allows the import of live pigs and pork and other products from the UK, it will still ban the import of live cattle, live sheep and beef and mutton from the UK The Philippines banned imports of cattle, sheep and meat from Britain in November 2000 after BSE was discovered in the UK (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
