Raimo Heinam is the director general. He says that if the Spanish laboratory does not find the plague, the piglets will survive.
Will the pigs be slaughtered? We are currently awaiting a response from Spain. If Spain says there is no plague, the pigs will survive.
Does this change the policy? No, this is not a change of policy. It is a special situation.
Why is Spanish analysis needed? African plague is dangerous. Spanish analyses were ordered earlier.
If the pigs survive, what happens? Trust in Estonian laboratories will decrease. This is a complex situation. Food safety is important.
Can the spread of plague be limited? Not entirely. The plague has been in Estonia for about 15 years. The number of wild pigs needs to be reduced.
