Description
Signed a protocol with the United States of America (United States) to guide bilateral trade if African Swine Fever (ASF) is detected in wild pigs, without cases in domestic swine. If ASF is found in wild pigs, trade of live swine, swine germplasm and untreated swine products would initially stop, while allowing trade to continue in products treated to make the ASF virus ineffective.
