The agenda items in question relate to discussions at the EU Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health on the updated information on the foot and mouth disease situation, particularly in South America, provided by the representatives of DG SANCO.

At the meetings formal presentations were not made by the representatives on the agenda items. However, they did give an oral briefing updating the committee in respect of the foot and mouth disease situation in South America and circulated information received from Argentina in this regard. I am making arrangements to have this information sent to the Deputy.
