Maghreban body contemplates Epizooty detection network
Maghreb, Local, 2/6/2003

The Maghreban permanent commission of animal medicine devised a project to set up a Maghreban network to detect epizooty, part of a drive to reinforce follow-up control of infectious diseases, with a potential threat to the region.

Following a meeting, held in Rabat on Tuesday, the commission decided to follow-up animal health, assess prevention programs of epizootic diseases, and build cooperation in this part of the world.

A release of the General Secretariat of the Maghreb Arab Union (UMA/gathering Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia), said that the Commission has recommended to the network's coordinators to use state-of-the art technology, organize training sessions on epizootic diseases monitoring, set up labs adopting common Maghreban standards to reinforce control and update the related legal texts both on local and regional levels.

The UMA presidency council approved, during its third session held in Libya in March 1991, an accord on animal health, recalls the release.

The Maghreban permanent commission of animal medicine was set up in January 2002 by the Maghreban food security ministerial commission.
