Abstract
In the Netherlands, existing restrictive measures adopted by the European Commission to control the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (A/H7N7) have been extended until 12 May. No live poultry, hatching eggs and fresh, unprocessed poultry manure or litter may be exported to other member states or third countries and, with some derogations, no live poultry and hatching eggs may be transported within the Netherlands. All poultry in the buffer zones created around infected areas will be culled as soon as possible. (1)
