There are restrictions on meat, dairy and other products.</p><p> </p><p>African swine fever (ASF) cases in Europe in 2022 represented new “jumps” in disease distribution towards the United Kingdom. While we consider that the overall risk of entry of ASF virus into the UK from all combined pathways remains at medium, the particular pathway of human-mediated transport of non-commercial, infected products from the EU is considered to be high risk. The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) conducts outbreak risk assessments on ASF in the EU, published here <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fafrican-swine-fever-in-pigs-and-boars-in-europe&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cpqteam%40defra.gov.uk%7Ca5af9722cebf49b5be4b08dc4d7223a8%7C770a245002274c6290c74e38537f1102%7C0%7C0%7C638470399819769241%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=gE%2FKCR5tKPguo%2FVWa1WsXhdO6LRssdjtdfNmssdCom0%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/african-swine-fever-in-pigs-and-boars-in-europe</a> and attached to this answer.</p><p> </p><p>As a result, we announced controls restricting the movement of pork and pork products into GB to help safeguard Britain's pigs. Travellers are no longer allowed to bring pork or pork products weighing over two kilograms into GB, unless they are produced to the EU’s commercial standards. The controls, which came into force in September 2022, strengthen the standards for bringing pork and pork products into GB from the EU and EFTA states. This measure helps limit possibly infected pig meat being brought into GB through various means, such as in passengers’ luggage or in vehicles.</p> answering member printed Lord Douglas-Miller question first answered 02/04/2024 13:10:03 answering member 5006 label Biography information for Lord Douglas-Miller attachment 1 file name 25_January_2024_African_swine_fever_in_Europe.pdf title Attachment for HL2406
