The Ministry of Agriculture of Germany warns people entering the territory of Germany from Russia and Ukraine that they should completely abandon the transportation of meat, sausages, bacon and other pork products.
This is due to the outbreak of African swine fever in these countries, Deutsche Welle reported. Germany and the European Union had previously taken steps to prevent ASF from spreading to the EU; import of pigs and pork is forbidden; control was toughened on the borders, experts say, noting, however, the infectious agent may be brought with food. A few days before it became known that a temporary ban on the import of pork from Ukraines Zaporizhzhia region was imposed by Russia and Belarus, while Lithuania and Moldova banned the import of meat from the entire territory of Ukraine.
