These import restrictions were imposed after the confirmation of a highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak in Texas in February.
“The current disease situation and available information do for the moment not allow a reduction of the protective measures to a confined area,” the Commission said.
The Commission said the situation will be reviewed at the next meeting of the committee, scheduled for 30 March. At this meeting the bird flu situation in Canada will also be reviewed.
