Dear Sir/Madam,

On behalf of The Poultry Veterinary Study Group of the EU please find, linked below, our position paper entitled "Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza and sustainability of the global poultry industry".

During the winter of 2020/2021 Europe experienced the most widespread incursions of HPAI in both wild bird and domestic avian populations of recent times. The financial and welfare impacts in both poultry and poultry farmers has been significant. This position paper reviews the current knowledge on epidemiology and control of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI). The members of the PVSGEU Working Group on Avian Influenza call on the regulators and Industry to open science-based discussions on future long-term strategies for the prevention of HPAI in clearly defined poultry populations at risk, which may include vaccination. However, any discussions and proposals as a result of these science-led discussions must include OIE to avoid the imposition of unnecessary barriers to International Trade in poultry and poultry products.


Yours Sincerely

Dr. Matthias Voss

Senior Vice President of PVSGEU
