The measure affects all the birds in the house.

The Basque Government has convened a meeting on Monday with representatives of the sector at the emergency table to deal with avian influenza. Among other things, it will be discussed whether the measures could be relaxed in the case of farmers who may suffer the most loss and damage.

For the time being, no cases of avian influenza have been detected in Hego Euskal Herria, and although the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, for example, has pointed out that the measures taken are hasty, the Agriculture and Fisheries Adviser of the Basque Government, Amaia Barredo, has pointed out that, in view of the situation, the measure imposed by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture must be complied with.

In the opinion of the Navarre Government, confinement is also necessary because the situation in Europe is' very serious'. In any case, the Director of Livestock and Agriculture, Ignacio Gil, has stressed that the measures to be taken should be decided on the basis of existing data.

Since today, chickens and birds from all farms in Hego Euskal Herria must be confined, since the Spanish Government has decided to combat the risk of further spread of the disease. The aim is to prevent poultry from having contact with free birds in order to prevent contagion.
