With the ever-present risk of further ASF spread, compartmentalization offers an attractive alternative to zoning as an option for swine producers to ensure business continuity and sustained trade in the face of ASF.

16-Oct-2020adrian-balabanIt's very funny that this idea of compartmentalization comes into the discussion now, when Germany was hit by ASF, the East and Central European countries are asking for this for the last 4-5 years and all the time the answer was negative. Anyway it will take a lot of courage from the EU commission to accept this idea because most probably, this means that they have to give up to the decision 709/2014 and to recognize the compartments all over the world . The idea could work, we have this example in romania where we use to have the chanalized system, that was successful.
