We agree with the Committee’s recommendations on biosecurity. ADNS has now been replaced by the ADIS system for EU Member States and we continue to engage with the Commission to facilitate access. This is part of a wider negotiation which means that progress is unlikely to be straightforward. Currently, the UK has in place alternative systems for horizon scanning and risk assessment including the World Organisation for Animal Health Information System (OIE-WAHIS). Our relationship with the European Commission also means that the UK authorities are notified of any new outbreaks of significance in the EU. This has allowed us to ensure the UK CVO has information about any potential changes in the disease situation in Europe.
