the patient had resided in Kuwait, Russia and Lebanon. The completed
investigation did not support the patient's having had extended travel to
European countries, including the United Kingdom, or travel to Saudi Arabia. The
specific overseas country where this patient’s infection occurred is less clear
largely because the investigation did not definitely link him to a country where
other known vCJD cases likely had been infected.

BSE: Scientists publish risk assessments for Costa Rica, Kenya, Slovenia
and Romania
The Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) advising the European Commission on
BSE related issues has today published its opinion on the Geographical Risk of
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (GBR) in Costa Rica, Kenya, Slovenia and
Romania. The evaluation of the geographical risk of presence of BSE focuses on
the risk for animals to incubate the disease. The Committee concludes that is
highly unlikely that cattle infected with the BSE agent are present in domestic
herds of Costa Rica (GBR level I). They found that this is unlikely but not
excluded in the herds of Kenya and Slovenia (GBR level II) and that it is likely
that BSE is present in the cattle herds of Romania (GBR level III) although this
is not yet confirmed. Slovenia is the first accession country that is classified
as GBR level II. All other accession countries evaluated so far have been
classified at level III of Geographical BSE Risk. Similarly, all EU Member
States are classified at level III except for Sweden, Finland and Austria (level
II) and United Kingdom and Portugal (level IV).
The Committee found that Slovenia has since 1992 imported 2.400 live cattle
notably from Germany, and imported small amounts of MBM. The Slovenian
authorities have been able to trace most of these cattle imports and to
demonstrate that many of them are still alive. They also showed that reasonably
effective controls on the rendering of MBM were in place at least as of 1996,
and probably also before that date. In addition, a first feed ban to ruminants
was introduced in 1996. It is therefore regarded unlikely but not excluded that
the BSE agent could have been recycled, but not amplified, in Slovenia between
1992 and January 2001, when a complete feed ban was put in place. Romania has
imported higher numbers of live cattle (about 22,000 tons) and
meat-and-bone-meal (about 10,000 tons) from EU countries where the presence of
BSE has since been confirmed. Although risk management measures were taken as of
1996, their effective enforcement has not been demonstrated. Therefore it is
regarded likely that Romanian cattle herds were exposed to potentially BSE
contaminated feed and subsequently infected.
Kenya has received meat and bone meal exports notably between 1987-1990
from the UK and since 1994 from Belgium, Denmark and the Netherlands. The data
made available to the SSC do not exclude that some of this MBM has reached
domestic cattle. The conclusion of the assessment for Costa Rica is based on
data demonstrating that BSE infectivity is highly unlikely to have reached the
country and hence the domestic cattle population. Only minor quantities of
potentially infected live cattle (35 from Spain) or potentially contaminated
meat-and-bone meal (5 tonnes) were imported into the country.
The SSC recommends that BSE related aspects are included in the programme
of future inspection missions of the Food and Veterinary Office, as far as
feasible, to obtain confirmation of the information received from the national
authorities in the countries concerned. For the time being, the scientists
underline, their assessment has to be based on the information provided by the
assessed countries. As far as possible all data have been evaluated and verified
in close co-operation with the countries concerned, and checked against other
sources in an open and transparent manner. Data on imports provided by the
countries under evaluation have for example been compared with export data as
recorded by EUROSTAT, the EU Statistical Office, and with export data provided
by the UK authorities.
The evaluation of the GBR in these third countries was made on the basis of
the same method and assessment process as described by the SSC in its July 2000
opinion on the GBR( 1 ). In the July-opinion the scientists already assessed the
GBR risk in all EU Member States except Greece, and a first series of third
countries( 2 ). An assessment for Uruguay was published in January; assessments
for Botswana, Lithuania, Namibia, Nicaragua, and Swaziland in February, and for
Albania, Brazil, Colombia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary,
India, Mauritius, Pakistan, Poland, Singapore and Slovakia in April this year.
The full text of the opinions is available at:

Updated Overview of third countries according to Geographical BSE risk
classification
Category I: Highly unlikely to present a BSE risk
Argentina Australia Botswana Brazil Chile Costa Rica Namibia Nicaragua
Norway New Zealand Paraguay Singapore Swaziland Uruguay
Category II: Unlikely, but a BSE risk cannot be excluded
Canada Colombia India Kenya Mauritius Pakistan Slovenia USA
Category III: likely to present a BSE risk, even if not confirmed, or
presenting a low level of confirmed BSE risk
Albania Cyprus Czech Republic Estonia Hungary Lithuania Poland Romania
Slovak Republic Switzerland
Category IV: BSE risk confirmed at a high level
None

Opinion of the Scientific Steering Committee on the GEOGRAPHICAL RISK OF
BOVINE SPONGIFORM ENCEPHALOPATHY (GBR) in Romania Adopted on 11/05/2001
FINAL REPORT OF AN AUDIT CARRIED OUT IN ROMANIA FROM 07 TO 18 FEBRUARY 2011
IN ORDER TO EVALUATE MEASURES CONCERNING BOVINE SPONGIFORM ENCEPHALOPATHY
(BSE)
Executive Summary This report describes the outcome of an audit carried out
by the Food and Veterinary Office (FVO) in Romania, from 7 to 18 February
2011.
The objective of the audit was to evaluate the implementation of
requirements concerning Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), as laid down in
Regulation (EC) No 999/2001.
In terms of scope, the audit concentrated on BSE epidemio-surveillance in
bovines, measures taken after suspicion/confirmation of BSE, removal and
handling of specified risk material (SRM) from bovines, and the prohibition of
feeding products of animal origin to farmed animals and exceptions applicable to
this ban. The evaluation included measures taken in response to the
recommendations made in a previous FVO audit regarding the afore-mentioned
issues.
Overall, the report concludes that very limited progress has been made in
order to address the recommendations of the previous FVO audit. In particular,
BSE active epidemio-surveillance and compliance with SRM rules are significantly
affected by the lack of arrangements for the collection of brain samples and SRM
at backyard farms, where the majority of the bovine population is kept. There
are also weaknesses concerning feed-ban controls.
The report makes a number of recommendations addressed to the Romanian
competent authorities, aimed at rectifying the shortcomings identified and
further enhancing the implementing and control measures in place.
