New measures to help prevent the spread of avian influenza have been agreed by the European Commission, Decision 2005/745/EC adopted by the EU on 21st October requires member states to ban birds at markets, shows, fairs and similar events. It may be possible to authorise some events to go ahead based on a veterinary risk assessment specific to that event.
Domestic legislation bringing these measures into effect is expected to be in force by Friday 28th October.
