THE BEST MOMENT FOR THE
ERADICATION OF FMD IS NOW !
 The outbreaks had drastic reduction;
 Problem persists in very delimited critical areas;
 There is strong motivation for the Mercosul
members to cooperate due to the great losses
with the last outbreaks.

partners

resources only by the governments or international
institutions;

complement salaries of veterinarians and field
personnel if areas are free of outbreaks.

represent barriers to effective participation of private
sector.

aims to invest.
