authorities and feedback from China was awaited.

India
India accepted the change from “zone free ASF” to “compartment
unit”.

Residue
A number of residue monitoring programmes were currently conducted
in South Africa. Unfortunately VPH was slow in making reports available.
Dr Kudawashe undertook to request assistance from the industry if
necessary to compile such reports. Dr Evans was in the process of
engaging with RMAA to develop further cooperation on gathering of
residue information.

There was a strong likelihood that two to three countries would open up
for exports in the next 12 months.

- PEWG meeting was scheduled for 10 March.
- A progress report on all visits to the various countries will be tabled.
- The department was cautious in inviting countries to visit South Africa
given an active disease (FMD) outbreak.

DAFF advertised four vacant positions in the department.

Dr Maja granted approval for the industry to contract Dr Nadia de Beer
to deal with the export questoinnaires at DAFF.
