Belarus lifts import ban on pig meat
restrictions, imposed on animals and animal products from certain EU Member States,
based on measures due to pandemic H1/N1 influenza virus.
On 30 April 2009, Belarus introduced a ban on imports of pig meat from several Member States, and later extended the ban to cover products from more Member States. During the summer, the ban was partially lifted, and recently the EU has been informed that all remaining temporary restrictions, based on pandemic H1/N1 virus, have now been lifted.
