What it means for you

The UK government has temporarily banned people from the European Union (EU) to prevent the spread of legs and mouth disease in the country by bringing cheese and some meat.

But what does it really mean in practice – and should you be worried?

Pork, beef, lamb, mutton, goat, venison and any other products made of these meat – such as sausage – have been banned from the European Union. This also applies to pet food.

In addition, milk and dairy products – such as butter, cheese and curd – have also been prohibited from the European Union.

It covers items such as sandwiches and fixed meats, as well as raw meats and milk “whether it has been packed or packed or whether it is bought for duty free”.

However, there are exceptions such as chicken, duck, swan and any other products made from them.

This remedy is guided only on people arriving in Great Britain – as, England, Wales or Scotland – from the European Union.

This does not apply to northern Ireland, which has its own remedies for legs and mouth disease.

The ban travels anyone in any way of transport – whether it is by aircraft, train, bus or car.

But it will not be imposed on those who arrive from Northern Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey, or Isle of Man to Great Britain.

The restriction applies only to travelers that individually bring into goods – not commercial importers such as farmers or shops.

According to the UK government, the reason for this is that commercial meat and cheese imports face higher standards than individuals.

They should undergo heat treatment, which is to kill germs, and come with a health certificate signed by the weights.

The disease usually spreads between animals through direct contact. But they can also catch it by eating contaminated meat or dairy products.

Any product of animal origin like meat and dairy can be contaminated with legs and mouth disease.

Even if they are for human consumption, if they are thrown in such a way that can come in contact with forgetting wildlife or domestic livestock, it presents a risk.

Foot and mouth disease is harmless to humans and there are no cases in Britain – but it is highly contagious to animals.

It affects cattle, sheep, pigs and, “other clovan-head animals such as wild boar, deer, lalama and alpaca” according to the government.

Animals that catch it usually come with a high temperature before developing blisters, usually around the mouth or legs. It can lame animals and, for a very young, resulting in ambivility.

The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs presented measures on Saturday, April 12 and did not give a last date.

The BBC understands that the ban will remain until the government believes that passengers have no significant risk from passengers bringing banned meat and dairy in Great Britain.

The government launched a release last Friday before the ban on Saturday to be implemented.

It has informed the border control and airlines to make passengers aware of the rules and started a digital and social media campaign.

The Eurosar is sending emails to the passengers, making them come to know about the rules of the UK.

However, many people who have traveled to Great Britain from the European Union since weekends told the BBC that they were unaware of the measure and were not told – there was no signal in the airport and no check.

Any person traveling should follow the rules.

The government says that goods can be confiscated and destroyed on the border and in severe cases, criminals can be fined £ 5,000 in England.

No, travelers are generally not allowed to bring meat and milk products from the UK to the European Union for personal use.

It has nothing to do with the latest declaration -it has been a case since Brexit, facing the same rules of every other non -ururophagical union with Britain.
