Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. He referred to the pilot project that ran between August 2022 and August 2023, which coincided with a significant spike in the number of flocks in which the disease was confirmed and in the number placed under restriction in that year. Will the Minister confirm what plans, if any, he has to build on the pilot project? Is he pursuing a policy of eradication?
