Mr. Ruane: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the countries from which his Department has bought meat in the
past year; and which of them have recently experienced endemic foot and mouth disease in their national herd. [155256]
Dr. Moonie: [holding answer 23 March 2001]: In the past year my Department has bought meat from: Australia, Belgium, Brazil,
Denmark, France, the Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain and Uruguay as well as the United Kingdom. Of these
only Brazil has recently experienced endemic foot and mouth disease. All meat imported into the UK for human consumption, however,
must comply with Community import rules. These permit the importation of meat from some countries where foot and mouth is present
but only where the veterinary authorities have contained the disease in specific regions. EC rules permit imports only from those
regions where there is considered not to be a risk to human or animal health. These controls currently apply to Brazil and Uruguay.
