  • [01] Officials call for lifting of restrictions after negative tests for bird flu

  • [01] Officials call for lifting of restrictions after negative tests for bird flu

    Deputy Agriculture Development Minister Alexandros Kontos has conveyed a letter the Greek foreign ministry requesting that Athensā diplomatic services emphasise to the governments of Albania, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) and Bulgaria that no instances of bird flu have been detected in the country, days after a single and much-publicised suspected case tested negative for the H5N1 virus.

    Kontos also called for the lifting of any restrictions on Greek poultry exports to the neighbouring countries, most in place since last week.

    In a related development, agriculture ministry officials informed Albanian ambassador to Athens Bashkim Zeneli on Friday that tests on poultry in the country turned up negative for bird flu, while again stressing that this fact certainly "does not justify the unilateral measures" taken by Tirana against Greek exports to neighbouring Albania.

    On his part, Deputy Health Minister George Constantopoulos told an audience of delegates at a pharmaceuticals exhibition in Thessaloniki that he was confident a vaccine against the specific virus will be found within the next six months.
