Russia bans poultry import from Hungary, France, and Belgium

The Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance banned Hungary, France, and Belgium from importing live poultry and hatching eggs into Russia. This Bashinform News Agency was informed in the department of Rosselkhoznadzor in the republic. The export ban from these countries also applies to poultry meat, finished meat products containing poultry processing products, feed and feed additives for birds, and used equipment for keeping, slaughtering, and cutting birds.

According to the supervisory authority, temporary restrictions are associated with worsening the epizootic situation in some administrative territories of Hungary, France, and Belgium. The transit of live birds through the Russian Federation is prohibited from these countries.
