Tunisia: Controls on Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies in Ruminants

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

This report contains an unofficial translation of Tunisia’s regulation to control transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in ruminants, including BSE and scrapie. The regulation extends to imported live ruminants and ruminant products. Tunisia imports of ruminant and ruminant products total $10 to 30 million/year, with currently less than $100,000 sourced from the United States. However, the United States and Tunisia have not yet established a health certificate to facilitate the trade of U.S. beef. This measure has not been notified to the WTO.
