Find your country's enquiry point on WTO ePing (opens in a new tab)The importation of birds of all species, poultry, poultry meat and poultry meat products from the Netherlands is prohibited until further notice following the declaration of cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza in poultry in the Netherlands. This ban does not apply to poultry meat and poultry meat products that have undergone heat treatment allowing for the destruction of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus, in accordance with the recommendations of the World Organisation for Animal Health (Organisation mondiale de la santé animale, OMSA). Thus, upon importation, the aforementioned products must be accompanied, in addition to the health certificate, by an attestation issued by the competent health authorities specifying that they have undergone the aforementioned treatment.
L'importation d'oiseaux de toutes espèces, de volailles, de viandes de volailles et de produits à base de ces viandes est prohibée, à partir des Pays-Bas, jusqu'à nouvel ordre suite à la déclaration des cas d'influenza aviaire hautement pathogène aux Pays-Bas chez la volaille. Cette interdiction ne concerne pas les viandes et produits à base de viandes de volailles ayant subi un traitement thermique permettent la destruction du virus d'influenza aviaire hautement pathogène, conformément aux recommandations de l'O.M.S.A. Ainsi, à l'importation, les produits prcités doivent être accpompagnés, en plus du certificat sanitaire, d'une attestation délivrée par les autorités sanitaires compétentes précisant qu'ils ont subi le traitement précité
