Morocco confirms that the export of live animals from Spain will continue as normal despite animal diseases

The Moroccan government has decided to continue importing live animals from Spain, despite concerns over the rise in animal diseases such as bluetongue and EHE. This decision was made following a productive meeting between Spanish Minister of Agriculture, Luis Planas, and his Moroccan counterpart, Ahmed El Bouari. The two ministers discussed the authorization of fresh sheep and goat meat imports from Spain and affirmed the strong bilateral relations between their countries. Planas highlighted Morocco as the primary destination for Spanish sheep and cattle exports, asserting that the decision to continue these imports demonstrates the maturity of the Spanish market.
