The Netherlands has imposed a second wash obligation on transport lorries coming from Germany to prevent the spread of PSA (Panleukopenia, or Aujeszky's disease). This regulation, effective from 16 July 2021, applies to all vehicles transporting cloven-hoofed animals from Germany. The vehicles must be thoroughly washed and disinfected at a designated site before entering the Netherlands. The responsibility for completing and signing the cleaning and disinfection certificate lies with the authorities at the washing site, which then needs to be submitted to the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture and Food Safety (NVWA) for tracking. This measure is part of a broader initiative that already includes countries like Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Poland, Slovakia, and Bulgaria.
