[Cryptome] Avian Flu H5N1 Status of Germany and Poland: If, after the close of the comment period, APHIS can identify no additional risk factors that would indicate that domestic poultry in regions of Germany or Poland continue to be affected with HPAI H5N1, we would conclude that the importation of live birds, poultry carcasses, parts of carcasses, and eggs (other than hatching eggs) of poultry, game birds, or other birds from regions of Germany and Poland presents a low risk of introducing HPAI H5N1 into the United States. For Germany, we expect we would lift the restrictions we imposed in response to the 2006 and 2007 outbreaks and maintain the restrictions we imposed in response to the October 2008 outbreak until the European Commission lifts the restrictions, at which point we would reevaluate the HPAI H5N1 status of the district of G[ouml]rlitz in Saxony.
