EU lifts ban on swine imports from Croatia

The Croatian Ministry of Agriculture said the European Union ban, which was imposed because of a classical swine fever outbreak in Croatia, has now been lifted, reported Total Croatia News.

According to the ministry, the EU lifted the ban from December 27, 2019 thanks to detailed veterinary inspection measures, which were implemented to eliminate classical swine fever from domestic swine and wild boar.

Croatia first reported a classical swine fever case ten years ago.

Strict restrictions were imposed on the marketing of live swine and swine-based products which come from the following counties in Croatia: Vukovar-Srijem, Karlovac, Sisak-Moslavina and Slavonski Brod-Posavina.
