TOKYO, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Japan's Farm Ministry on Friday
partiality lifted a ban on imports of live poultry and poultry
meat from the United States and Canada following an outbreak of
bird flu.
Imports from the eight U.S. states of Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, California, Kansas, Arkansas, Montana and Indiana, and
Canadian Province of British Columbia will resume after
restrictions were imposed for up to nearly nine months, Ministry
of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries said in a statement.
After the latest measure, restrictions on live poultry and
poultry meat still remain in place on the seven U.S. states of
Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota
and Nebraska, and Canadian Province of Ontario, pending local
checks by Japanese officials, a ministry official said.
Separately, a ban is imposed on imports from the U.S. state
of New Jersey of live poultry and poultry meat shipped from
within the 10 km (6 miles) radius of farms where low pathogenic,
avian flu was discovered, the official added.
