We are proposing to amend
the regulations governing the
importation of animals and animal
products by recognizing 25 Member
States of the European Union as the
APHIS-defined European Union poultry
trade region and adding it to the list of
regions we consider to be free of
Newcastle disease. We are taking this
action based on a risk evaluation that
we prepared in which we determined
that the proposed region meets our
requirements for being considered free
of Newcastle disease. We also
determined that the region meets our
requirements for being considered free
of highly pathogenic avian influenza. In
addition, we are proposing to establish
requirements governing the importation
of live birds and poultry, including
hatching eggs, and poultry meat and
products from the APHIS-defined
European Union poultry trade region,
and to update avian disease terms and
definitions. These actions would
facilitate the importation of live birds
and poultry, and poultry meat and
products, from the APHIS-defined
European Union poultry trade region
while protecting the United States from
communicable avian diseases.
