Foot and Mouth Disease in Germany Update
The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) have shared the latest update on foot and mouth (FMD) in Germany.
Following an assessment, the United Kingdom has recognised the entire territory of Germany as FMD-free without vaccination. This means that the export of affected commodities from the containment zone can resume, provided that all other import conditions are met and attestations in the relevant export health certificate can be certified.
Please see Imports, exports and EU trade of animals and animal products: topical issues - GOV.UK for more information.
Guidance is available at: 14 May 2025: Recognition of foot-and-mouth disease freedom for Germany - GOV.UK
