Romania: Confirmed presence of mad cow disease in Romanian beef test
Balkans news - 03.07.2014

Romania?s animal health and safety authority (ANSVSA) said on Wednesday that the Romanian meat sent to for testing at a British laboratory was confirmed to be infected with an ?atypical form of BSE which appears naturally and spontaneously in cattle.?

?This is an isolated case?, ANSVSA mentioned.

On Tuesday, Russia?s federal veterinary and phytosanitary control authority, or Rosselkhoznadzor, banned imports of bovine cattle, beef and by-products from Romania over an outbreak of Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).
Prime minister Victor Ponta reacted to the Russian move by saying that Romania does not have a ?mad cow problem? according to Europe and ?maybe the Russian authorities are mistaken?...
