Brazilian Experience on Regionalization Classic Swine Fever - CSF
Brazilian Classical Swine Fever Free Zone >50% of the Brazilian territory Almost 100% of the commercial swine farms INFECTED ZONE FREE ZONE
Main Points for the CSF free zone statement • Official Veterinary Service Structure • Vaccine Program • Private Sector x Government partnership
Tools for maintaining CSF free zone • Official Control of Animal Movement • Quarantine • Controlled Vaccination The disease was never reintroduced in the CSF free zone !!!
Export Results due to CSF free zone • CSF X FMD • 1998 (OIE – FMD) – 1st exportation of refrigerated swine meat • 24% nº of frozen meat importing countries • 2001 (CSF) – 17,64% nº of swine meat importing countries • 2003 - 41,86% nº of frozen meat importing countries
OTHER POSITIVE ASPECTS • TECHNICAL UPGRADE OF FARMS • GENETIC AND SANITARY DEVELOPMENT • ABUNDANT GRAIN HARVESTS (Corn & Soy) • PRODUCTION LOW COSTS
Imposed Barriers Despite of the CSF Free Zone • RECOGNITION OF REGIONALIZATION • EQUIVALENCE • EXCESSIVE IMPORT REQUIREMENTS • HARMONIZATION • UNDUE DELAYS
OIE´s Recognition of CSF Free Zone • SPECIFIC CHAPTER ALREADY ESTABLISHED • RELIABILITY • SUBJECTIVE EVALUATION • “FAST TRACK”
SPS Committee Decision on Regionalization • DEFINITIONS ON ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES • TIMEFRAMES • UNDUE DELAYS
