Strength Union's regulation to stop foot-and-mouth disease

The European Union banned imports of livestock from Britain, includes all live animals, including cattle, sheep, goats and pigs, as well as all fresh milk and meat, which can transmit the virus.

The disease was found in cattle on a second farm in southern
England, where 102 animals from that farm were slaughtered. There is a "strong
probability" that the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Britain was caused
by viruses that escaped somehow from a pair of veterinary laboratories where
vaccines are made.
The last time the disease broke out in Britain, in 2001, 7
million animals must be killed.
