Lifting of the Temporary Ban on Domestic and Wild  Birds and their Products including Poultry Meat, 
Day-Old Chicks, Eggs and Semen originating from British Columbia, Canada  
  The Department of Agriculture (DA) issu ed Memorandum Order (MO) No. 20, series of 
2006, lifting the temporary ban on the importation of domestic and wild birds and their products 
including poultry meat, day-old chicks, eggs and semen originating from British Columbia, Canada 
which was imposed per DA MO No. 26, series of 2005 , in view of the avian influenza outbreak on a 
commercial duck farm in British Columbia.  DA MO  No. 20, s. 2006 takes effect on 15 May 2006. 
  The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) , Ottawa, submitted its  final report to the 
Office Internationale des Epizooties (OIE) last 24 April 2006 that the identified zone is no longer 
considered as infected.  The extensive surveillance that was conducted around the compartment area 
indicates that the low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) has been eradicated from the commercial 
and backyard flocks in this area.  Based on the ev aluation of the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI) of 
the Philippines, the risk of contamination from importing poultry and p oultry products from British 
Columbia, Canada is negligible.
