EU measures applied to control ASF

 The overarching piece of legislation providing the tool for the control of African swine fever in the EU is Council Directive 2002/60/EC
of 27 June 2002.
 Main elements are:

● On infected holdings all pigs are killed and potentially infected materials destroyed
● Establishment of protection (3 km) and surveillance zones (10 km) around infected farms with a movement ban and
inspection of farms for 40 days after last infected holding is cleaned and disinfected.
● In case animals from the farms in the surveillance zone are moved to the slaughterhouse, animals should be kept separate
and meat should be heat treated and canned.
