<p>Avian influenza disease prevention and controls, including the Avian Influenza
Prevention Zone mandatory housing measures, are enforced by local authorities. They
take a proportionate approach to non-compliance. We are in regular contact with local
authorities and details of compliance and enforcement are shared with Defra by the
Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) Regulatory Affairs and Intelligence team. APHA
chairs regular outbreak enforcement meetings which are attended by representatives
from local authority Trading Standards teams from across Great Britain together with
policy representatives from Defra, the Welsh Government and the Scottish Government.</p>
