ERC will request this Monday in the Parliament the urgent appearance of the Minister of Agriculture of the Generalitat, Òscar Ordeig, after confirming the first case in Spain of Contagious Nodular Dermatosis (DNC) in cattle in Alt Empordà (Girona), because they see «lack of foresight by the Government, despite the sector’s requests in recent months.»
«Catalonia is facing an extremely serious situation for the livestock sector, with a high health, economic, and social risk that demands maximum transparency,» ERC stated in a press release on Saturday.
They demand that the Minister provide explanations and inform about the prevention and control protocols, support measures for affected livestock farmers, and measures to prevent the spread of the outbreak.
