DECLARAT ION OF CLASSICAL SWINE FEVER  FREE STATUS  
COMMUNICA TION FROM  COLOMBIA  
The following communication, dated 12 July  2021, is being circulated at the request of the delegation 
of Colombia .  
 
_______________  
 
 
1.  On this occasion, we wish to inform WTO Members that the World Organisation for Animal Health 
(OIE) has recognized Colomb ia's health status as a classical swine fever (CSF) free zone where 
vaccination is practised (Central  Eastern Zone).  
2.  Following  the recommendation of the OIE Scientific Commission for Animal Diseases , on 
27 May 2021, the World Assembly of OIE Delegates approved the recognition of the zone comprising 
two merged  zones , the East Border Zone II and the former high surveillance zone, as a foot a nd 
mouth disease free zone where vaccination is practised, in accordance with th e OIE Terrestrial 
Animal Health Code (2019).  
3.  This recognition was achieved as a result of epidemiological surveillance activities , vaccination 
monitoring and the strict control of animal movements in the Central Eastern Zone . This means that 
Colombia's pi g production in the defined area ( represent ing 95% of total produc tion) is free from 
this disease.  
4.  Given Colombia's new health status granted by the OIE in its capacity as an SPS  Agreement 
reference body, we wish to invite WTO Members to inform their healt h authorities so that the 
restrictions imposed by some countries may be lifted, thus facilitating ongoing processes to ensure 
compliance with sanitary requirements for pork meat originating in Colombia.  
5.  Further enquiries regarding the measures implemented by ICA for the declaration of CSF free 
status may be addressed to : asuntos.internacionales@ica.gov.co .
