  1. Regionalization measures to control African Swine Fever in the EU EU-Korea Workshop on ASF Sejong, 5 September 2019

  2. Korea – EU Trade figures 2018 Total KR Exports € 51.1 bn Total KR Imports € 49.6 bn Agri-Food Products Exports KR € 201 mio Imports KR € 3027 mio Animal Products Exports KR € 108 mio 0.2% Imports KR € 1292 mio 2.6%

  3. Global trade links of EU are substantial; • Meat and poultry € 13.7 bn (2018) • Trade between EU Member States is more: Meat and poultry € 71 bn (2018) • The EU isitsown, most important tradepartner and must manage risks of itsown 'international' trade.

  4. Intra-EU trade of pigs and pork Over 111.000 cross-border movements of live pigs every year, (33 Mio animals). 5.7 Mio tons cross border trade of fresh pork. No documented cases of ASF transmission via legitimate trade. (figures for 2018 according to TRACES)

  5. The main elements • Harmonised EU legislation; • National legislation and contingency plans; • Strong animal ID and movement controls; • Networks of EU and National laboratories; • Rapid decision-making in case of emergency; • Pooled resources if necessary; • Regionalisation.

  6. Harmonised EU Legislation Council Directive 92/119 - general measures for the control of certain animal disease –list of notifiable animal diseases. (Reg 429/2016: General Animal Health Law) Implementing rules, for example: Council Directive 2002/60 specific provisions for the control of African swine fever. Implementing Decision 2014/709 concerning animal health control measures relating to African swine fever.

  7. Risk-basedmovement restrictions for live animals, animal products and germplasm Four distinct geographic risk areas identified Area 1: Buffer zone (no cases, no outbreaks); Area 2: ASF cases in feralpigsonly; Area 3: Cases in feralpigs, isolatedoutbreaks in domesticpigs; Area 4: Endemic situation, feral and domestic. Principle of Regionalisation for ASF

  8. Area 1: 30 daysquarantine and testing or animalsfrom high biosecurity holdings; Area 2: No dispatch to Third countries; Intra EU movement to area 2 or 3; Area 3: No dispatch to Third countries; Intra EU movement to area 2 or 3 onlyfrom high biosecurityfarms and on pre-defined routes; Area 4: All movementsprohibited. Movement controls for live pigs

  9. Area 1: Allowedfromapproved holdings; Area 2: No dispatch to Third countries; Intra EU onlyfromtesteddonorswithprior consent of importing MS and EU Commission; Area 3: Same as Area 2; Area 4: All tradeprohibited. Movement controls for germplasm

  10. Area 1: Allowed; Area 2: Freshmeatonlyfromanimalswith 30 daysquarantine and testing or animalsfrom high biosecurity holdings.Heat-treatedproductsallowed; Area 3: Same as Area 2; Area 4: Onlyheattreatedproductsallowed. Movement controls for meat and meat products from domestic pigs

  11. Area 1: Allowed; Area 2: Onlyaftertreatment; Area 3: Same as Area 2; treatment must be in an approved, channelled system; Area 4: Same as Area 3. Movement controls for by-products of domestic pigs

  12. Area 1: Prohibited; Area 2: Prohibited; Area 3: Prohibited; Area 4: Prohibited. Movement controls for meat and meat products from feral pigs

  13. USA, Canada, New Zealand; Taiwan (for Italy); Belarus and Russia (for Czechia); Ongoing discussions with Ukraine, Japan Several important trade partners accept the EU regionalisation for ASF

  14. Conclusion Regionalisation can be a highly efficient instrument if it is part of a comprehensive veterinary control system. The track record of the EU shows that our measures effectively prevent spreading ASF through trade. Website DG Health and Food Safety:https://ec.europa.eu/food/animals_en
