Hazard response plans are widely available at national level but their availability diminishes the closer the level descends to the productive base, which is where many of the protective measures must actually be implemented. Countries highlight issues relating to early warning, early diagnosis and rapid response, as well as veterinary legislation, although some national legislation fails to include certain aspects, hindering Veterinary Authorities’ performance.
