G/SPS/N/CHL/580

Description

In light of the notification by the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA) to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) of a new outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, and given that the importation of bovine meat from Colombia therefore poses a potential risk to Chile's health status, a health measure has been provisionally adopted to suspend the importation into Chile from Colombia of chilled and frozen fresh meat of bovine animals.
