The government has again called for vaccination against nodular dermatosis to be extended to Bizkaia and Álava
The Spanish Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Counsellor Amaia Barredo, has sent a letter stating that the distance between the last focus and the CSC has narrowed, increasing the risk of the disease spreading on our land.
The Minister of Food, Rural Development, Agriculture and Fisheries of the Basque Government, Amaia Barredo, has sent a letter to the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food confirming another focus of contagious nodular dermatosis(DNC). In the letter, Barredo has again requested vaccination in Bizkaia and Álava , where cases are approaching.
The Councillor warns in the letter that this last focus, notified on 27 February Fiscal (Huesca), is approximately 210 km from the capitals of the ACV; this is significantly less than the previously confirmed distance from the focus in Catalonia, which shows that the distance to the Basque Country is gradually decreasing and the risk is increasing objectively. "The proximity of the focus in Huesca puts the Basque Country in a position of real vulnerability.
It therefore reiterates its demand that all cows in Álava and Bizkaia be included in Vaccination Zone I (only those in Gipuzkoa have been vaccinated), considering the measure to be 'consistent and necessary'. Furthermore, it calls forthe immediate availability of 80,000 doses of vaccine to protect all cattle in both territories.
The Councillor has also urged the Spanish Government to urgently submit its proposal for reclassification to the European Commissionand to inform the Communities of any important developments in order to ensure a 'coordinated, transparent and effective response' to a continuing threat.
Finally, the Department wanted to send amessage of tranquillity to the entire Basque livestock sector, stressing that it will continue to defend the interests of the sector "firmly before all the competent institutions and will take all necessary measures to safeguard animal health, the economic viability of farms and the future of the rural environment of the Basque Country".
