Nébih also helps Hungarian farmers by making available a list of settlements and the EU map search engine so that they can more easily find out about the most important information about the ASP epidemic in Croatia.

As is well known, African swine fever (ASP) has also appeared in Croatia and started to spread explosively in the recent period. The Hungarian animal health authority has strengthened its epidemic prevention measures to minimize the risk of introducing the virus. It is extremely important for farmers to have information about the proper origin of live pigs and pig products of Croatian origin, and the development of restricted areas in Croatia, especially due to the rapid spread of the epidemic. On the thematic page of the Nébih ASP, it helps those affected to find their way by providing a list of settlements and the EU map search engine.

Information is also in the interest of Hungarian farmers

However, it is important to emphasize that enforcing movement bans and preventing transport from infected areas to other member states is primarily the responsibility of the Croatian authorities! This obligation is also stipulated in an EU decision*. That is why the primary and official news source is the information published by the Croatian authorities. In addition, it is important to point out that – in addition to the special rules justified by the epidemic – all regulations regarding the movement of live animals between member states are still valid and must be observed.
