Foot-and-mouth disease is spreading across Europe, with outbreaks in Hungary and Slovakia, causing concern for the Spanish livestock sector. The disease poses a threat to livestock and associated industries, leading to production losses and trade restrictions. If the disease reaches Spain, it could result in the immediate restriction of animal and product movement, potentially leading to the closure of foreign markets. The European Commission has approved measures to expand restriction zones and has activated the vaccine bank. The Spanish Ministry of Agriculture is implementing preventive measures and monitoring livestock movements from affected countries. No outbreaks have been reported in Spain since 1986.
