 Levantamiento de la prohibición temporal de importación de aves de corral y aves salvajes y sus 
productos, incluidos carne de ave, aves de un día,  huevos y semen, procedentes del Reino Unido  
  El Departamento de Agricultura ha publica do la Orden Administrativa Nº 28, serie de 2006, 
por la que se levanta la prohibición temporal de importación de aves domésticas y aves salvajes y sus productos, incluidos carne de ave, aves de un día,  huevos y semen, procedentes del Reino Unido, 
impuesta en virtud de la Orden Administrativa Nº 16,  serie de 2006, del Depart amento de Agricultura, 
debido a un brote de influenza aviar ocasionado por la cepa H
5N1 del virus, detectado en Escocia.  La 
Orden Administrativa Nº 28 del Departamento de Ag ricultura, serie de 2006, entró en vigor el 28 de 
agosto de 2006. 
 De conformidad con el informe final presen tado a la Organización Mundial de Sanidad 
Animal (OIE) por la Dra. Debby Reynolds, Dire ctora General de Sanidad y bienestar animal, 
Departamento de Medio Ambiente , Alimentación y Asuntos Rurales (DEFRA), del Reino Unido, han 
transcurrido noventa (90) días desde que el DEFRA autorizó el levantamiento de todas las restricciones relacionadas con el brote de influenza aviar.  Según la evaluación de la Oficina de la
