ALB/ €5.65 MILLION EU FUNDS TO IMPROVE ALBANIAN CONSUMER PROTECTION AGAINST ZOONOTIC DISEASES

www.eeas.europa.eu A €5.65 million project funded by the EU has paved the ground for concrete improvements in the Albanian consumer protection against zoonotic diseases, in the strengthening of the technical and administrative capacity of the state veterinary service and in the effective implementation of the appropriate measures for the eradication and control of zoonotic diseases. The Instrument for Pre-Accession (IPA) 2008 project has assisted the veterinary service with the preparation of various strategies and tools for the control and monitoring of zoonotic diseases in Albania. In addition, the vaccination of small ruminants (sheep and goats) has been a major result of the project not only for the improved implementation practice of the process with over 2.6 million of vaccinated animals for two consecutive years, but especially for the expected positive impact in the reduction of people affected by the disease.
