Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

Embassy/The Hague delivered the demarche talking points in reftel to the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV) and the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Henk Leemans, Department of Food and Veterinary Affairs, LNV, said the EU decision to close its market to most U.S. poultry and poultry products will remain in effect at least until March 24, when Decision 2004/187/EC expires. In the meantime, they expect the possibility of lifting the ban or applying it on a regional basis to be discussed when Commissioner Byrne visits Washington on March 19. 2. According to Mr. Leemans, the Netherlands supports the concept of regionalization for animal diseases. They would support limiting the ban to a smaller geographical area when current restrictions are due to be reevaluated and voted on at the Standing Committee on Food Chain and Animal Health meeting on March 23-34.
