Foot-and-Mouth Disease: Compensation Payments for Farmers to Begin

The Advisory Committee on Livestock Compensation for Foot-and-Mouth Disease continues its work to establish a framework for fair and individualized compensation, as well as the reconstruction of livestock. The committee emphasizes the importance of close cooperation with farmers and full compliance with the instructions of the Authorities, including slaughter and sampling procedures. Any violation of legislation or contribution to the spread of the virus is condemned. Completion of slaughter according to protocols is a prerequisite for the payment of an advance. The committee is composed of representatives from various bodies and aims to support those affected and quickly reactivate livestock farms.
