EU warns Spain against Vox rule, which makes cattle health checks more flexible in Castilla y Leon

The consequences of Vox’s decision to make tuberculosis controls on farms in Castilla y León more flexible, and subsequently canceled, were not long in coming. These are mainly Hundreds of people trying to enter the Autonomous Board headquarters in Salamanca, some protests where there will be at least one injured and one prisoner. In this context, a letter sent by the European Union confirming that the regulations are absolutely against the protocols comes to light.

A May 23 letter sent by the European Commission to the Spanish government warned that the Vox standard was “not in line” with European guidelines and that its implementation could pose a risk of bovine tuberculosis infection. But he went further and Vox approved movements of cattle banned in the European Union. He also insisted that the regulation permits transport from livestock facilities “where disinfection is suspended or withdrawn because of positive or questionable test results, or possibly even when outbreaks are confirmed.” “This kind of move is extremely dangerous as it can facilitate the further spread of the disease,” the letter continues.

That all goes back to May 15, when Vox approved the reduction of controls on cattle with this disease in Castilla y León because it felt it was “arbitrary”. “We will continue to defend our farmers against arbitrary impositions that suffocate them,” the vice-president of Castile-Leon said in a video. Juan Garcia-GallardoHe even added that the European Union will change legislation to control less against tuberculosis.

The High Court of Justice of Castilla y León issued a decision this Monday. suspended This relaxation in cattle health measures of the Ministry of Castile-Leone. However, it was back to normal before the norm, and anger grew among farmers claiming it was not 100% correct and demanding that these sanitation protocols and testing on their cows be changed as a precaution. , cattle sent to the abattoir were then healthy in a second analysis.

But these measures had already motivated. a request of agriculture departmentcanceling the district administration’s orders and forbidding cattle from leaving the community. It also filed a contentious administrative appeal to protect animal health in Spain and avoid its repercussions in foreign markets. The ministry itself provided the initial opinion that “there were several contacts with Castilla y León to inform the junta of the illegality situation and its intention to appeal”, and that the European Commission “calls to take action”. Protecting Spain and the rest of the Member States”, he also insists with the “all-knowing” adviser.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Rural Development called a meeting this Tuesday to “talk” to the farmers, but Unión por la Ganadería, the platform that brings together 22 associations from Salamanca, refused the meeting Unless changes are proposed to protocols established by European and state regulations.
